Several already known reasons lead to the discredit of the distance learning modality and harm its transforming potential through the universalization of education. Despite this, in Administration education, institutions use online games, not in person, as teaching tools. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how participation in an online business game, promoted by the "S" system, influences the attitude of undergraduate students in on-site Administration courses concerning distance learning courses. Through documentary research on data provided by a higher education institution in Minas Gerais, collected data was submitted to Bardin's content analysis, frequency statistics, and Spearman's correlation. The results indicate that participation in the online game contributes to learning and training but does not influence students' attitudes concerning distance learning.
