Techniques described herein relate to executing and monitoring physical simulations within a digital credential platform. Physical simulation evaluation systems may be implemented including sensor-based monitoring systems, simulation output systems, and/or simulation environment control systems. Particular types of digital credential simulations may be determined and executed within a physical environment, during which a plurality of sensors may be used to monitor the physical actions of a credential receiver during physical simulation. The physical action data may be analyzed and compared to digital credential requirements to determine one or more digital credentials to be generated and issued to the credential receiver.
