Cyber Tambola
Dab the control that stops the call.
▶ Play nowHousie for a security awareness fair. Your ticket is printed with defences; the caller announces threats. Dab the control that stops what was just called — but not every call is on your ticket, and dabbing the wrong one is a false alarm that costs you. The prizes are the layers of a security programme: First Responder, Perimeter, Detection, Recovery, and Defence in Depth for the full house.
How to play
Every square on your ticket is a defence. Listen to the call, then dab the square that defeats it. If the answer is not on your ticket, do nothing — that is the right move, and it is half the skill. A wrong dab is a false alarm: three of them and you are out.
Know which control stops which attack, and know when a threat is not yours to act on.
Every round is drawn from a content deck, and every answer comes with the reasoning behind it. Your organization can point this game at its own material without any change to the game itself.
Play with a friend
Open the game and choose “Play a friend” to get an invite link. Everyone races the same board at the same time and the highest verified score wins. If nobody joins before the countdown ends, a bot takes the empty seat so you can still play.
Controls
Tap a square to dab it. In host mode, Space or Enter calls the next one.
12 security topics
The game does not know any of them. It knows what SHAPE of content it can show, and the library supplies the rest — which is why your own material drops straight in.
This is what a round asks you
Real items from the library, answerable right here. Every one explains itself — that is the difference between a quiz and awareness training.
A password written on a note under the keyboard
A manager on the device, locked with one strong passphrase

The note is not defeated by any technical control, and everyone who cleans, visits or sits at that desk can read it.
RememberOne passphrase you remember, everything else in the manager.

Verification only works through a channel the sender did not choose for you. The number in the email belongs to whoever sent it.

A text about a parcel you are not sure you ordered
Open the courier app yourself rather than the link

Almost everyone is waiting for a delivery, which is exactly why this one works. The app you already have gives the same answer without the risk.
