TSC created, designed and delivered a bespoke Escape Room to be facilitated by the cyber security team. The Escape Room was one activity in a weeklong programme for graduate induction, and part of a several year partnership that also delivered employee eLearning programmes.

## Challenge

Thales required something that would be engaging, interactive, a team challenge and incorporating a leaderboard to reinforce the competitive element of the Escape Room.

Thales required the Escape Room to have specific learning elements on the topics of social engineering strategies, the evolution of AI technology and its use by cybercriminals, as well as the risks related to cybercriminals use of open source intelligence and identifying phishing attacks.

## Insight or assessment

Before the development of the Escape Room, TSC had a series of meetings with key stakeholders to understand the objectives of the graduate programme, ensuring the Escape Room would fit within the overall context of the induction and identifying the main practical challenges of room availability and physical resources to support the activity.

## Solution

Based on the discussions, TSC designed a bespoke Escape Room game, with a timer set at 30-minutes The game had leaderboard functionality and 7 distinct tasks that needed to be completed by the teams within the specified timescale. The game was also built with penalties for incorrect answers adding to the tension within the Escape Room and the competitive element. The game concluded with a prize for the winning team and a leaflet on the key learning points for each activity. The game was tailored to the organisation’s risks, policies, audiences and brand.

## Approach

Before the development of the training and associated resources TSC had a series of meetings with key stakeholders to understand the organisational context, the programme objectives and the main challenges. There was also a desktop analysis of the current risk management process and review of the documentation for the new Threat Scenario-led Risk Assessments.

### Relevant

The content developed was reflective of Thales graduate roles, real-time threats and organisational policies and procedures.

### Measurable

The Escape Room had clear learning outcomes for each task and a feedback loop built into the graduate programme.

### Sustainable

This game can be replicated with many teams as, for example, an engaging and challenging activity on a team meeting, or incorporated into live training sessions.

## Services provided

— Security awareness gamified training

## Result

The game was facilitated for all graduates and received the highest engagement, interest and enthusiasm levels against all the content delivered in the weeklong programme..

### Outcome summary

The successful delivery of the Escape Room gave the security team clearer evidence of improved graduate capability and understanding in relation to cyber security.
