The security training market is broken. Here's the data.

Phishing, weak passwords, social engineering โ€” human mistakes are the primary attack vector, not technical vulnerabilities.

Employees know security training is important โ€” they just don't believe their annual 45-minute e-learning module will help them in a real attack.

A portable escape game.
A real learning experience.

SecuriQuest is a cybersecurity-themed escape game that we bring physically to your location โ€” your office, your seminar room, your offsite. No installation, no software, no preparation required from your team.

The game immerses up to 8 players in a scenario where they must identify and neutralise real-world security threats: phishing emails, compromised USB drives, weak password practices, social engineering attempts. They work together, under time pressure, to solve the puzzle.

"We don't push security concepts into people's heads. We put them in a situation where they discover those concepts themselves โ€” by doing, not watching."

The competitive, time-pressured environment creates the kind of emotional engagement that makes learning stick. Participants discuss what they did right and wrong long after the game ends.

Five steps. One lasting shift.

Every SecuriQuest engagement follows a structured methodology โ€” from first contact to long-term behaviour change. Here's how it works.

01
Before

Discovery & risk identification

We start with a conversation to understand your organisation โ€” your industry, your compliance obligations, the profiles and roles of participants, and the specific security behaviours you want to reinforce or change. For Growth and Enterprise clients, we identify high-risk groups and adapt our scenarios to your specific threat landscape.

02
Before

Preparatory briefing email to participants

Before the session, every participant receives a short, carefully written briefing email. It introduces the key security concepts they'll encounter in the game โ€” not to spoil the experience, but to prime their thinking. This is the first of three learning touchpoints. Available in English, German, and French.

03
During

The escape game session

We arrive at your location, set up the portable game, and run the session. Groups of up to 8 players work together against the clock to identify and neutralise security threats embedded in realistic office scenarios. The pressure of the timer, the team dynamics, and the physical interaction with real-looking props create a genuinely memorable experience.

04
After

Expert debrief

Immediately after each session, a SecuriQuest security expert leads a structured debrief. We discuss what threats they encountered, which ones they caught, which ones slipped through, and what that means for their daily work. The debrief converts the emotional experience of the game into concrete, actionable security habits.

05
After

Learning summary & compliance documentation

Every participant receives a take-home summary of what they learned and the key security behaviours to apply in daily work. For Enterprise clients, we produce a compliance report mapping the training against the relevant standard โ€” audit-ready for ISO 27001, NIS2, SOC 2, C5:2020, or on request.

Why an escape game works when e-learning doesn't.

Our approach is grounded in established principles of behavioural science and learning psychology. This isn't intuition โ€” it's what the research consistently shows.

Learning science

Active recall over passive exposure

Participants don't watch a video about phishing โ€” they encounter a realistic phishing attempt and must reason through it under pressure. Active problem-solving produces retention that passive learning cannot match.

Memory & emotion

Stress and adrenaline encode memories

The competitive, time-pressured format creates mild stress โ€” the kind that sharpens attention and strengthens memory consolidation. Participants remember their session months later because of how it felt, not just what it taught.

Social learning

Peer learning outlasts individual training

Working together to solve a problem creates shared understanding and shared language. Teams continue discussing security topics after the session. Culture change happens through conversation.

Transfer of learning

Safe environment, real concepts

The escape game creates a safe space to fail โ€” and to learn from failure โ€” without real-world consequences. This experiential learning transfers more reliably to daily behaviour than theoretical instruction.

Training that satisfies auditors,
not just employees.

SecuriQuest sessions are designed to meet the security awareness training requirements of major compliance frameworks. Our Enterprise package includes audit-ready documentation.

NIS2 ISO/IEC 27001:2022 SOC 2 Type II C5:2020 (BSI) GDPR / DSGVO

For CISOs and security managers: SecuriQuest's Enterprise package includes a detailed compliance report documenting participation, topics covered, and mapping to your chosen standard. This provides the evidence trail required for ISO 27001 audits, NIS2 obligations, and similar regulatory requirements.
