Gamification of Cybersecurity Training: An Escape Room Experience

People Involved

Project Description

An ‘exercise in the box’ will be developed to gamify cyber awareness training amongst young people.

The training will be designed around a common threat such as Social Engineering and will adopt an 'escape room' theme. Participants will compete against each other to escape a given scenario in the shortest time, with game theory strategies applied to enhance the effectiveness of the training.

This project will be delivered in conjunction with Police Scotland and the gamified experience will be piloted during Cyber Scotland Week (March 2023) at schools across the local region.
