Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the public sector.
Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the public sector.
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility that everyone must be aware of, yet the topic doesn’t always resonate equally across all municipal departments. We were looking for an approach that wouldn’t just inform employees but truly engage them in understanding digital threats. Traditional presentations and checklists don’t create the kind of deep understanding we needed. We wanted colleagues to experience firsthand how easily you can fall into traps by playing the role of the attacker themselves.
From personalized phishing emails to exploring the dark web, colleagues dove enthusiastically into the game. Everything took place within a recognizable setting: our own municipality, thanks to complete personalization. That made it extra tangible and relevant to daily work. Teams played intensely, collaborated strategically, and competed for high scores.
The engagement was remarkable. One colleague even achieved 960 out of 1000 points, naturally earning a prize for that achievement. The reactions were enthusiastic across the board: educational, fun, and surprisingly confronting. Seeing their own municipality as the target made employees realize just how vulnerable even familiar systems can be. The game sparked immediate discussions about real scenarios colleagues had encountered and near misses they had experienced in their actual work.
Phantom’s Game delivered more than just knowledge. It created conversation, insight, and action throughout the organization. Employees gained concrete examples of risks and clearly understood their own role in keeping our municipality secure. The playful approach resonated deeply and directly contributed to greater cybersecurity awareness across all departments. Colleagues now approach digital interactions with healthy vigilance, recognizing that protecting our municipality starts with individual awareness and collective responsibility.
Transform cybersecurity from policy into practice. Our interactive game creates real behavioral change, boosts your existing programs, and turns every employee into an active defender.

A must for any organization that wants more than just a dry presentation about cybersecurity.”

A powerful and memorable way to build awareness from day one.”

It made digital risks feel real, sparked great conversations, and turned learning about cybersecurity into a fun and truly memorable experience.”
“At the University of Antwerp, we wanted students to go beyond theory and feel what cyber risk really means. Phantom’s Game offers exactly that – an immersive, realistic experience that sparks reflection, curiosity, and genuine awareness. It encourages students to think critically about their own digital behavior and vulnerabilities. It turns learning about cybersecurity into something truly memorable.”
“At Biemans Accountants, we face digital threats like phishing and malware every day, so we needed a solution that would truly make an impact. Phantom´s Game proved to be the perfect mix of fun and realism — not just another dry training, but an engaging experience that made everyone think. It sparked meaningful discussions and built lasting awareness across our entire team.”
