The project managers that are chosen to be employed then choose a project from a screen with eight different projects, as illustrated by the left screenshot below. They do so in the same order in which they were chosen to be managers. Half of the projects are of the type that is more likely to be successful and the other half is of the type that is less likely to be successful, but no manager or investor knows which project is of which type. Once all employed managers have chosen a project, the manager implements the project by clicking on the box in the right screenshot. Investors and employed project managers are then told whether their own project was a success or a failure.

After the first project has been implemented, employed project managers choose a new project, which again is equally likely to be of the type that has a high (75%) or low (25%) success probability. The implementation of this project will follow the same procedure as before.
