Why serious games work

Games activate more than memory — they trigger emotion, decision-making and reflection. That’s what makes them so effective for cybersecurity:

  • Emotional engagement leads to deeper learning.
  • Active choices reveal real behavior.
  • Roleplay builds empathy and accountability.

Cyber Crime Game isn’t just fun — it’s focused. Designed to teach, test, and transform.

What players will experience

Players step into the shoes of a cybercriminal, with one target: their own organization. They explore how easy it is to manipulate trust, exploit routine, and bypass defenses — all from the inside. This isn’t theoretical. It’s personal.

They send phishing emails to real departments. Use publicly available data to build social engineering profiles. Clone their CEO’s voice. And see what happens when manipulation meets human error. The game unfolds over 8 levels, each based on real-world attack scenarios. Participants simulate being the attacker, navigating:

  • Social engineering and OSINT research.
  • Phishing and spear phishing emails.
  • MFA circumvention and weak password discovery.
  • Tailgating and physical intrusion.
  • Deepfake CEO calls and AI voice manipulation.
  • Incident response and ethical dilemmas.

All browser-based. All multilingual. All NIS2-aligned.

Built for real impact

This serious game is ideal for:

  • Companies tired of tick-box training.
  • Teams across HR, finance, ops, IT and leadership.
  • Cybersecurity Month campaigns or onboarding tracks.
  • Organizations preparing for NIS2 compliance.

Whether you want a one-off event or an ongoing learning track — it fits.

Frequently asked questions

It’s a game with a purpose—designed to drive behavioral awareness through immersive, high-stakes simulations based on real-world cyber threats.

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.
