Mckinsey Solve Game Timing Inquiry

Hello,

I received a McKinsey game invite, and it says "approximately 95 minutes". Which games can I get? Red Rock, Seawolf, and Sustainability together make up 85 minutes, so I'm confused about the extra 10 minutes. The instruction times are listed separately in the email. Please clarify whether someone has experienced a fourth game or if McKinsey has stretched the time of one of the games.

Hi,

That is indeed unusual. Typically, the invitation indicates either 65 or 85 minutes, depending on whether the Sustainable Futures Lab assessment is included. I am not aware of any additional assessment that could take up the remaining 10 minutes.

My best guess is that they added a ten-minute buffer for transitions between the different assessments, so that you reserve enough time in your calendar. 

Best,
Franco
