As ESC agents, the task is to assist Defence Robotics in cleaning up their computer system, as they suspect they’ve been hacked. Defence Robotics has just entered into an agreement with the military, so it would be critical if their information ends up in the wrong hands. With that in mind, it’s time to get started and secure their computer system to prevent any incidents. Most people can probably relate to countless emails from IT telling us to complete an online course on cyber awareness, change our password, etc. Escape CPh has taken it a step further by transforming the online course into an escape room. It’s a great opportunity to use this room for teambuilding, allowing people to learn through play—after all, you’re never too old to play, and these days, IT security is something we all must deal with. It’s not a deep-dive IT course, but it does cover the basic security principles, and a small folder is handed out at the end that provides additional coverage. You can always follow up on the rest after completing the room. The room itself is linear, so everyone is sure to experience the intended IT security elements. However, this also means that at times we found ourselves waiting on each other, as it’s difficult to crowd around the smaller puzzles. Fortunately, there are several puzzles where the entire group can work simultaneously. The puzzles are heavily based on IT security, moving away from traditional padlocks in favor of digital solutions instead. The room is filled with computers and other appealing electronic equipment (no spoilers here). As an extra bonus, there’s an option to play the room in either normal or expert mode—but you don’t need to choose upfront. The gamemaster can activate expert mode if you finish the standard puzzles too quickly. Number of nuts (max 5) Difficulty level 🌰🌰🌰 Design 🌰🌰🌰 Scare factor 0 Entertainment vs price 🌰🌰🌰
