Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the public sector.
Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the public sector.
We wanted to reach 40 to 50% of our workforce with information security training, but in a way that employees would voluntarily want to do. It had to go beyond traditional learning elements like phishing recognition. We wanted employees to truly understand the motivations and methodologies of hackers, so that awareness goes deeper than just following rules.
Instead of mandatory training, employees voluntarily entered a personalized digital game with video footage and photos of their own colleagues and even voice cloning of our mayor. The launch in March 2025 was supported by life-sized banners, popcorn with game tickets, and active internal communication.
The personalization with real Meierijstad elements generated much enthusiasm. The game and scoring element contributed to ongoing conversations about the game, with the final ranking regularly providing an opportunity for mutual evaluation. Notably, this training was recommended by many colleagues to other colleagues, which is quite exceptional.
The game focused not only on traditional learning elements but primarily on understanding hacker methodologies. Through this positive approach, the learning effectiveness is significantly higher than with traditional learning methods. Employees gained insight into social engineering, phishing patterns, and how hackers work systematically.
Ultimately, more than 360 employees played the game. The combination of a modern gaming approach with personal elements created higher learning effectiveness than traditional training. The game not only created awareness but also higher engagement. Due to the positive word-of-mouth, the percentage participation among new employees is higher. The game is now a standard part of the introduction for new colleagues. Information security has been transformed from an abstract topic into a shared responsibility that truly sticks.
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.
“Phantom’s Game transformed our students from confident learners into genuinely aware security professionals who understand their own vulnerabilities. The game uniquely blends excitement and education. Our students didn’t just understand cyber threats — they experienced them.”
“At Fransen Gerrits, we believe it’s important that our people know how to deal with digital risks, especially since our insurer also emphasizes this. Joris convinced me that Phantam’s Game is not a standard awareness training, but rather something that truly sticks. And I haven’t regretted it for a second. Fun and educational. A must for any organization that wants more than just a dry presentation about cybersecurity.”
“At Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, we wanted to kick off the academic year with something that would truly grab attention and set the tone.

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 the Municipality of Hardenberg, we wanted our colleagues to really feel what a cyberattack looks like – not just hear about it. Phantom’s Game turned out to be the perfect way to do that. Realistic, engaging, and full of surprises, it made cybersecurity tangible and sparked great conversations across departments. Fun, eye-opening, and definitely worth repeating.”
“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.”
Our cybersecurity approach is built for organizations that want awareness to truly stick. Employees learn by doing, not by reading. Ready for the next generation of cybersecurity awareness?
