Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the education sector.
Making advanced cybersecurity concepts accessible and engaging for students in an optional, self directed format. We wanted to offer students an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the cyber kill chain and real world threats without the pressure of mandatory coursework. The challenge was creating something compelling enough that students would voluntarily participate while ensuring the experience would genuinely enhance their understanding of cybersecurity principles. We needed game based learning that would feel like an exciting opportunity rather than another assignment.
Students enthusiastically embraced the personalized, interactive cyber scenario game tailored specifically to LJMU’s School of Computer Science and Mathematics. The eight dynamic chapters guided them through the complete cyber kill chain, from reconnaissance to action on objectives, creating a comprehensive journey through realistic cybercrime scenarios. Students tackled real world challenges, uncovered threats, protected critical systems, and competed on leaderboards for recognition.
The immersive environment transformed theoretical concepts into tangible experiences. The competitive element kept students motivated and engaged, while the personalization made scenarios feel directly relevant to their studies. The clarity with which cyber threats were conveyed helped students understand not just what attackers do but why and how each stage of an attack unfolds. Adding to the experience, students enjoyed popcorn during gameplay, creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that made cybersecurity exploration feel like an event rather than studying. Upon completion, students earned certificates recognizing their achievement.
The game successfully brought innovative game based learning into our curriculum, strengthening student resilience and making cybersecurity education genuinely engaging and impactful. Students gained practical experience applying theoretical knowledge in realistic situations, deepening their understanding of the cyber kill chain and threat landscapes. The voluntary participation and high completion rates demonstrated that when cybersecurity education is immersive and well designed, students actively choose to engage, transforming optional learning into a memorable, certificate worthy achievement that enhances their academic journey.

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.”
