For Deck:
Needle Gunning
Painting
Pushing a broom and then a mop
Watching TV
Looking busy when you hear a door close because it might be the captain coming down the stairs
For the Bridge:
Punch a button on a computer screen and watch the vessel move a few meters.
Spend about an hour everyday filling forms and logs that nobody is ever going to look at like EPA stuff, Radio Logbook, Voyage Plans, etc.
Get up randomly several times during your watch to hit F10 on the GMDSS, bonus points for getting distress signals from over 2000nm away.
Hunt the Chief down when you have a question and nobody is answering the uhf radio or house phone, deduct points for going all the way to the rudder room and on your way back up you find him in the galley.

a simulation “game” eh? ok, here’s my 5…
- zombies everywhere on the ship you get to hunt and kill by the bushel
- a wide assortment of awesome weapons to use slaughtering said zombies
- set it on a megayacht filled with nekkid ladies hanging around the pool
- make it so that the zombies explode their guts and brains all over the place when they are hit
- transition to where you are in a submarine and hunting zombie sea monsters underwater

Galley should have simulation games, too:
like making waffles at tea break and delivering them to the ECR, with jam!

Don’t know if splicing and tying bowline knots will be offered, but a Swedish upstart is offering an App for Maritime training:
Apparently you can offer training in splicing and bowline tying on this platform, if there are any need for it these days.
