Spot the Threat
Judge it in the two seconds you actually get.
▶ Play nowA pure reflex test. Targets pop up anywhere on screen — tap them the instant they appear, ignore the decoys, and chain hits for combo bonuses.
How to play
A message flashes up for a moment. Tap it only if it is a threat — let the genuine ones go by. Reacting to a real message costs you as much as missing a fake one.
Tell a hostile message from a genuine one in the two seconds you actually get.
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 or click a message to flag it as a threat. Keyboard: Space flags the one on screen.
10 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.
An out-of-office giving your stand-in's name, role and mobile number
It tells anyone who emails you exactly who to impersonate, who to target, and that you are away and cannot be consulted. Say you are away and give a team address.
RememberOut-of-office replies go to attackers too.
Restarting your laptop when the update asks
Many patches only take effect after a restart. A machine that is never restarted is often unpatched despite showing everything as installed.
RememberThe patch lands on restart. Do it the same day.
Locking your screen when you step away briefly
Two minutes is long enough to send a message from your account. The habit only protects you if it is unconditional, which is why it has to be automatic.
RememberWindows+L or Ctrl+Cmd+Q. Every time, however short.
