CAPTRS aims to set a new standard

for preparedness through next-generation games that equip decision makers with the intuition and systems needed to combat future pathogen threats and prevent catastrophic global interdependencies.

Our portfolio of games are research-based and focus on the cognitive level in addition to the strategic, operational, and tactical levels.

We are designing games for a wide range of players––public health and healthcare professionals, scientists and engineers, elected officials, community and industry leaders––and to bolster preparedness across all stages in the decision cycle.

CAPTRS occupies a unique space between disciplines,

and as such we have built an advisory board that reflects a diverse set of knowledge and experiences, from wargaming to public health to pandemic fiction writing to medical administration, the members of our ad board are critically important to our efforts to improve preparedness
