Cyber awareness training people want to do
Three ways to turn your team into a stronger line of defence.
What we do
Our physical escape rooms, virtual experiences and cyber awareness training turn phishing, social engineering and everyday human risk into challenges people can experience, practise and remember.
Services
The boardroom takeover.
Hands-on cyber challenges that get teams thinking, solving and learning together.
Same pressure. No travel.
Interactive cyber challenges that bring teams together, wherever they’re working.
Training nobody has to chase.
Year-long cyber awareness training that keeps security front of mind and builds better habits over time.
Why our approach
Phishing is still the number one way into organisations. Click-next modules haven’t stopped it.

People remember what they did far longer than what they read.
Facing a threat once makes spotting the next one automatic.
A dreaded chore becomes the event they talk about.
The rooms
Every game is a self-contained scenario with its own setting, puzzles and debrief. Run one on its own, or work through them as a programme.
BeginnerA first run at thinking like an attacker. Teams pick apart a company’s public footprint and find out how much a stranger can learn before they ever send an email.
Teams of 4–6 · about 45 minutes
IntermediateThe worst day at the office. Ransomware is spreading, the backups look wrong, and the team has to agree what gets saved first — while the clock runs down.
Teams of 4–6 · about 60 minutes
A coordinated strike on national infrastructure. Teams work the control room as power, water and comms begin to fail, deciding what to hold and what to let go.
Teams of 4–6 · about 60 minutes
ExperiencedA security-awareness game set in one office. Players explore the room, open computers, phones and documents, and work out how an insider got in.

Custom game development
Off-the-shelf training teaches off-the-shelf lessons. We design an escape game around how you actually work, so your people rehearse the exact decisions they will face on the job.
Compliance & evidence
Most awareness training ends with an attendance list. Every Layer 8 game and quiz feeds the Layered Portal, so you finish with evidence: who covered which standard, how they did, and where to focus next.

FAQ
An escape room is a group puzzle game. Players are locked in a room and work together towards one goal, getting out, by solving a series of puzzles. It is a great way to have fun with friends and put your problem-solving skills to the test. A cyber security escape room adds a learning layer: every puzzle is tied to a real cyber security lesson, drawn from the situations people deal with every day. Every game ends with a facilitated debrief that turns what happened into what to do at work.
Most sessions run for one hour. That covers a briefing, the escape room itself, a facilitated debrief, time for questions and the reset for the next group. The game usually takes about 30 minutes of that hour, though some rooms run a little longer or shorter. We can run several sessions in a day, so everyone gets a turn. A Physical Escape Room session suits a group of 4 to 14, and a Virtual Escape Room session a group of 4 to 16.
Yes. The Virtual Escape Room runs entirely in the browser, with nothing to install. Each team gets a link, jumps on a video call and plays together, wherever they are. We are always experimenting with new ways to bring teams together.
About the Virtual Escape RoomNo. The games are built for everyone, not just the IT team. Hands-on play levels the field, from the graduate to the boardroom. Some of our games are easier and some are harder, so we can match the level of your team.
A meeting room and the people. We bring the props and the facilitator, and turn your room into a working escape room in about an hour.
About the Physical Escape RoomWe aim to build games that cover topics from ISO/IEC 27001 and the ASD Essential Eight. Each game focuses on different lessons, and no single game covers everything, so the games you choose decide which topics your team works through.
How we prove itYes. Custom Game Development turns your policies, systems and real risks into a game, in four stages: discovery, design, a playtest with your own people, and launch in the office, the browser or both.
About Custom Game DevelopmentYes. Our demo runs in your browser, so you can play a game yourself right now.
