How we build

// Real world

Based on real security work

Our games use the real thing: real attack methods, real security tools, and real rules companies must follow. In CISO, 44 missions are based on cyber attacks that really happened.

// Fair play

Tested, not guessed

Every mission is play-tested many times before it ships. If a mission cannot be won, or one trick always wins, we fix it. When we say a mission is hard, we know it is.

// For everyone

Easy on the eyes

Every game ships with a high-contrast theme that is easy to read, with no red-green colour traps. Six languages are built in from day one: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Portuguese.
