Format

Game-based assessment described by McKinsey as testing your natural problem-solving abilities. Candidates commonly report two scenarios, known as Redrock and Sea Wolf; McKinsey does not publish scenario names.

Firms adjust which assessment they use over time. Your invitation email names the exact assessment: always follow it and confirm with your recruiter.

Notes & caveats

Officially confirmed for most consulting roles. The official FAQ (Aug 2025) no longer quotes a duration: the length is stated in your invitation email. Each task opens with an untimed tutorial.
