This UX case study utilised the design thinking process to design, create and test a cyber security training escape room.
The Problem
Dull and generic cyber security training.
To identify the central issues with current industry level cyber security training we conducted expert interviews, market research and a literature review. We deduced the following issues with the existing practices.
Target Audience
Who were we designing for?
This product needed to be designed for new employees of professional companies that frequently use technology thus exposing them to the risks of cybercrime.
Develop an educational escape room that is motivating, engaging, challenging and accessible to players on multiple skill levels.

The central metrics included:
90% of users rate their satisfaction 4/5 or higher.

90% of users increase their understanding of cyber security from before and after playing.
