Why this escape room works

Traditional training tells people what not to do. This game shows them why. By simulating social engineering attacks from the inside out, the cybersecurity awareness escape room:

  • Creates emotional memory around key risks.
  • Builds muscle memory for better responses.
  • Uses serious gaming to anchor behavior change.
  • Turns abstract policies into real-world practice.

What participants will face

This escape room is based on Cyber Crime Game’s proven scenario engine. Participants navigate gamified missions that mirror the tactics of real attackers:

  • Social engineering and OSINT research.
  • Phishing email analysis and detection.
  • Password puzzles & MFA bypass scenarios.
  • CEO fraud via audio deepfake.
  • Tailgating and physical access.
  • Decision-making under time pressure.

Browser-based, modular and multilingual. Designed for remote, hybrid and onsite teams. Fully aligned with NIS2 awareness requirements. Backed by behavior analytics and learning reports.

Who is it for?

From finance to healthcare, from public sector to startups — every team deserves a challenge that activates their thinking and tests their reflexes. Cyber Crime Game is perfect for:

  • Awareness campaigns looking for high engagement.
  • Teams that learn best by doing.
  • Organizations tired of boring checklists.
  • New hires, interns, and frontline staff.
  • Leaders who want to model secure behavior.
  • Any group that handles data, systems, or communication.

Whether as a kick-off, team-builder or awareness anchor, this escape room makes cybersecurity real through the power of serious gaming.

Frequently asked questions

It’s an immersive, gamified learning experience where participants must solve realistic cyber challenges—like phishing, deepfakes, password traps, and incident reporting—to “escape.” It’s engaging, hands-on, and behavior-focused.

Absolutely! Play together in one or multiple rooms, face off against each other, and enjoy guaranteed fun—while boosting cybersecurity awareness for everyone.

Cybersecurity gamification is the use of game-based mechanics—like levels, storytelling, challenges, and scoring—to teach people how to recognize and respond to cyber threats. Instead of passively reading or watching, participants become active players in a scenario that mirrors real-life attacks. Whether it’s simulating a phishing attempt, investigating OSINT data, or unlocking achievements through strong decisions, gamification turns awareness into an immersive experience.

The goal? To make learning about cybersecurity not only effective—but engaging, memorable, and even fun.

Because people don’t learn best by being told—they learn best by doing. Gamification taps into how we naturally absorb knowledge: through curiosity, exploration, and immediate feedback. It transforms passive instruction into active participation, which leads to better retention, higher engagement, and deeper understanding.

Plus, the emotional impact of a well-crafted game—feeling tricked by a fake CEO email, or catching a colleague’s weak password—sticks far longer than a slide or policy ever will. That’s why gamification doesn’t just inform—it changes behavior.

Yes. We can tailor visuals, tone, language, and focus areas like NIS2 or phishing to fit your organization.

More and more, Cyber Crime Game is being used for different purposes and in various settings. Below, we outline the most common applications.
