Solve Game Prep is an interactive practice app for the McKinsey Solve game. According to the information, it provides simulations of three games: Red Rock, Sea Wolf, and Sustainable Futures Lab, can be started for free, and includes scoring feedback and question-by-question explanations.
Purpose: To help job candidates become familiar with the question types and practice decision-making methods before the McKinsey Solve assessment, rather than memorizing answers.
Main capabilities:
- Red Rock simulation: Includes the Investigation, Analysis, and Report phases as well as six Cases, with an optional 35-minute timed or untimed mode.
- Sea Wolf simulation: Three stations proceed in sequence, setting up a profile, classifying all cultures, four rounds of prospects, and then processing three cultures.
- Sustainable Futures Lab simulation: 13 linked decisions involving ranking, setting measures, handling conflicts, repairing, and making scale decisions.
- Each free simulation provides scoring and gives an explanation for each decision.
- Provides guides and original-question practice, covering method explanations for the three games.
How to use:
- Start for free, no credit card required, and continue working in a practice account.
- Paid options allow purchasing a single game or a three-game pack, as a one-time payment, with no subscription. Price information shows: the three-game pack is $147, now $79; a single game is $49, now $29.
- After creating an account, pay securely through Stripe on Road to Offer.
- After purchasing the Solve Pack, if McKinsey confirms that you did not advance, you can send the official result to support@roadtooffer.com within 60 days of purchase, and after verification you can receive a 50% refund while retaining access.
Applicable scenarios:
- Job candidates preparing for the McKinsey Solve assessment who want to become familiar with the Red Rock, Sea Wolf, and SFL question types and decision-making methods.
- Those who need to practice under untimed or timed conditions and view question-by-question explanations.
Limitations and notes:
- Not an official McKinsey product, not affiliated with McKinsey, and the practice games are not copies of the actual assessment.
- McKinsey has not released official specifications or scoring standards for Red Rock, Sea Wolf, or SFL; the formats in the information come from the preparation provider's description.
- The game names and tutorial rules in the actual invitation should take precedence over online discussions.
- Does not provide Ecosystem Building simulation, nor does it claim its current rules.
- The refund guarantee applies only to the three-game pack purchased on or after September 14, 2026, and does not include subscriptions, single-game purchases, credit packs, duplicate claims, or assessments completed before purchase.
- In the actual assessment, external apps, websites, AI tools, pre-made notes, and screenshots are prohibited; only pen and paper are allowed; the general assessment integrity page recommends using one screen and turning on the camera.
- Officials have not published passing scores, result timelines, or retake policies; the time lengths in the information (65, 85, 95 minutes) come from candidate reports and are not guaranteed to correspond to a specific game combination.
- Missing facts: no specific release date, user reviews, or more detailed feature descriptions are provided.
