# Peak Season — Run a hotel. Share a valley.

> A commons simulation: teams each run a hotel in a remote mountain valley and decide, season by season, on prices and building. Every guest wears on the same landscape, so what pays for one hotel can cost the valley its guests. Part of Phronon, a suite of online tools for practical judgment. hosted in Germany, ad-free; participants need no account and install nothing.

## How it works

1. An educator creates a session and shares the join code or link.
2. Participants join in the browser and are put into teams; each team runs one hotel.
3. Season by season, the teams set prices, build or buy houses, and decide what to give back to the valley.
4. The debrief shows what became of the valley and sets it beside two reference valleys played from the same start.

Audience: Business students & executives. Typical time: 60 min + debrief.
