Dear Chihmao,
You present an interesting problem with excellent pedagogical and research potential. if you want to separate personal failure from business failure, so that each student can start over with a new business after the student's previous business fails, then I might have the game you need. I generally run my game over a semester, so doing it over three hours would be an interestingly new application. One might fear that a new application would fail, but I suppose you don't fear failure yourself.
You can try out the demo of my game through my link below, or more directly from here: http://pages.towson.edu/precha/GEO/index.htm
Best,
Precha

Dear all,
I'm looking for a simple (but dramatic) classroom exercise – preferably experiential or physical – that can teach (undergraduate) students *how to not fear failure*. Ideally, it could be done inside the classroom and you could teach it to 40 students (from all majors and ages) in 3 hours in a non-boring way, and without requiring any kind of verbal presentation.
I have thought of this matter before, and I have some ideas, but I wonder out loud whether anybody else has already addressed this in class.
