Phantom’sLab offers cybersecurity awareness training tailored to students in every stage of their academic journey. Whether they study ICT, applied sciences, business, healthcare or any digitally driven field, this hands on experience builds understanding and strengthens the instincts they need for a secure future.
Students are entering a world where every profession interacts with digital systems, sensitive data and social engineering risks. From vocational programs to applied sciences and university degrees, learners must understand how attackers think and how everyday decisions create impact. Traditional theory based courses do not prepare them for the pressure and manipulation used in real attacks.
Phantom’sLab gives students a safe environment to explore cyber threats through cinematic storytelling and interactive challenges. They see how attackers exploit trust, urgency and human behavior, helping them build confidence before entering internships, traineeships or full time roles.
The numbers prove it. Gamified learning turns attention into action. Give students cybersecurity training that is fun, engaging and built to create real, lasting behavior change.
Your employees dive into the world of cybersecurity through a serious game.
Students learn best through experience. With Phantom’sLab, cybersecurity becomes practical, memorable and enjoyable. Through short cinematic episodes, interactive challenges and microlearning, students understand how threats behave and how to respond with clarity. It is the ideal kick off for a course, a hands on case study or a recurring component in any curriculum.
Our approach turns students into active defenders. They learn to pause, verify and respond under pressure, and when learning feels like entertainment, behavior becomes instinctive.
Phantom’sLab adapts each learning experience to your educational environment. Content aligns with ICT and cybersecurity programs, vocational studies, applied sciences and university level curricula. It is flexible enough to act as a course introduction, a capstone case study or a recurring learning component.
When students see themselves and their future industry reflected in the scenarios, engagement rises and learning becomes meaningful. That is the Phantom’sLab promise.

Our training works as a course kick off, a practical assignment, a case based learning module or an integrated semester element. Short episodes and microlearning make it easy to fit into classes, labs or self study, while still delivering real world insight and hands on experience.
Research shows gamified training increases engagement by 60% and productivity by 43%. When you add storytelling, knowledge retention skyrockets. People remember stories and experiences, not bullet points. Our game-based approach means employees don’t just complete training. They actually learn, remember, and apply what they’ve experienced.
We’re not from the cybersecurity industry. We come from entertainment. Our roots are in escape rooms, VR experiences, and serious gaming. We’ve created over 100 games for more than 1 million players. We know how to captivate people. Traditional e-learning asks, “How do we make this compliant?” We ask, “How do we make this unforgettable?” That’s the difference. Curious? Just request a demo. You will feel the difference instantly.
Absolutely. In fact, that’s exactly who needs it most. Hackers don’t target your IT department. They target your HR manager, your finance team, your receptionist. Anyone who uses email or handles data. Our solutions are designed for everyone, regardless of technical background. We make complex threats understandable and relatable. No jargon. Just real scenarios people face every day.
Faster than you think. Our game is ready to deploy, and we can customize it to your organization within weeks. You’ll receive game tickets, personalized videos, and even popcorn buckets for your team. The experience starts before the training begins. From first contact to full implementation, we handle everything. You focus on your business. We’ll make your people cyber-ready.
Phantom’sLab is an award winning CyberLab with roots in storytelling, behavioral science and game design. With more than one hundred game based projects and over one million players, we make cybersecurity engaging for students across disciplines and learning levels.
