Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the education sector.
Empowering cybersecurity awareness across the education sector.
Raising awareness among students who often view cybersecurity as something distant and irrelevant to their studies and future careers. We want to demonstrate that digital threats affect everyone, especially in business and HR contexts where human decision making and data handling are critical. No dry theory or abstract lectures, but an experience that sticks and sparks meaningful discussion. That’s why we’re integrating the game into our curriculum and using it as our school year kickoff to set the right tone from the very beginning.
Instead of traditional classroom instruction, students will dive into an exciting simulation where they act as digital hackers themselves. By stepping into the hacker’s mindset, they’ll truly begin to grasp the risks in ways that theoretical lectures never could. We expect high engagement, genuine surprise, and new insights, even among students who are typically harder to reach or less interested in security topics.
The game’s interactive and competitive design ensures active participation and naturally encourages students to connect theoretical concepts with practical application. We deliberately chose gamification because we believe deeply in learning through experience rather than passive consumption of information. The format creates an environment where students can safely explore vulnerabilities, test attack strategies, and understand firsthand how easily security can be compromised through human error.
We anticipate that students will emerge with fundamentally shifted attitudes toward digital security. Rather than seeing cybersecurity as a technical IT concern, they’ll understand it as a critical professional skill relevant to their future careers in business administration and human resources. The game will make cybersecurity relevant, tangible, and unforgettable from day one, setting the foundation for more engaged learning throughout the information security module and creating lasting awareness that students carry into their professional lives.
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.
“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 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 educational institutions that want awareness to truly stick. Students learn by doing, not by reading. Ready for the next generation of cybersecurity awareness?
