Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the education sector.
Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the education sector.
Creating meaningful learning for students who believe they already know it all. Within our focused cybersecurity program, many students arrived confident in their knowledge. We wanted to challenge that confidence constructively, showing them how theory differs from practice and how vulnerable even informed users can be. The solution couldn’t feel like traditional education – it had to engage skeptical minds while delivering genuine learning outcomes that would stick long after the session ended.
Over 75 students stepped into the role of digital hackers, experiencing cybersecurity from the attacker’s perspective. The response was immediate and enthusiastic: “Awesome!”, “Super cool!”, and “I felt like a real hacker.” What surprised us most was how the game captivated even our typically disengaged students. The visual design, realistic scenarios, and challenging gameplay created an intensity rarely seen in classroom settings.
Students actively collaborated, debated tactics, and pushed themselves to understand complex attack patterns. Abstract concepts like social engineering and security vulnerabilities suddenly became concrete, personal, and urgent. The competitive element added energy while the realistic scenarios forced them to confront their own assumptions about digital security.
The impact was immediate and lasting. Students gained genuinely new perspectives, particularly around the human element in cybersecurity: how manipulation works, how pressure affects decision making, and how attacks are actually structured. The game’s effectiveness led to its permanent integration into our curriculum, now played annually by new student cohorts. It has become an essential component of our program, bridging the gap between knowing about cybersecurity and truly understanding it.
Transform cybersecurity from policy into practice. Our interactive game creates real behavioral change, boosts your existing programs, and turns every student into an active defender.
“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. Phantom’s Game did exactly that, turning cybersecurity from abstract theory into an engaging, hands-on experience. It was interactive, surprising, and sparked valuable discussions among students. A powerful and memorable way to build awareness from day one.”
“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 Meierijstad, we wanted cybersecurity to be both fun and meaningful, something that truly resonates with people. Phantom’s Game delivered exactly that. It turned abstract risks into engaging, relatable experiences that got everyone involved and talking. The balance of competition, humor, and genuine insight made the topic accessible and left a lasting impact across the entire organization.”
“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 Snowminds, we wanted to boost cybersecurity awareness within our young, international team, without it feeling like another dull training. Phantom’s Game hit the mark perfectly. Competitive, fast-paced, and full of surprises, it kept everyone engaged from start to finish. It made digital risks feel real, sparked great conversations, and turned learning about cybersecurity into a fun and truly memorable experience.”
“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 education. Staff learn through experience, and students join in for free. Are you ready for the new generation of cybersecurity awareness?
