Why game-based awareness works

Because theory doesn’t change behavior — experience does. Traditional training explains. This game immerses. Employees don’t remember policies—they remember what they felt. That’s why gamification works: it creates emotional anchors that change behavior long after the training ends.

By gamifying real-world threats, Cyber Crime Game:

  • Triggers emotional engagement and reflection.
  • Anchors lessons through active decision-making.
  • Surfaces risky habits and assumptions.
  • Builds behavioral resilience through play.

What your team will experience

Cyber Crime Game is made up of 8 modular levels, followed by an awareness exam. Each level mirrors a real-world attack scenario—from OSINT research to CEO fraud—and can be tailored to your brand, sector, or risk profile.

Each level is a narrative-driven challenge, rooted in the tactics real hackers use. Participants aren’t just clicking—they’re making decisions under pressure, seeing the consequences unfold.

  • Conduct online reconnaissance (OSINT).
  • Simulate phishing and spear phishing.
  • Test weak passwords & MFA flaws.
  • Bypass physical access via tailgating.
  • Execute CEO fraud with deepfake audio.
  • Decide how and when to report incidents.

All content is NIS2-aligned, designed for non-technical users, and available in any language.

Built for everyone, not just IT

Cybersecurity is no longer an IT-only issue. Whether you’re in HR, finance, marketing or field operations—you’re a potential target, and a key line of defense. Cyber Crime Game is ideal for:

  • Onboarding new employees.
  • Training managers and team leads.
  • Raising awareness during campaigns or Cybersecurity Month.
  • Building a security culture across departments.
  • Remote teams and hybrid workers.
  • Regulated industries: healthcare, finance, government.

If you click, type, or talk—you need this game. Awareness becomes part of your culture—not just compliance. Cyber Crime Game supports learning that spreads across silos and sticks in daily routines.

Frequently asked questions

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.
