Our Why.
Can't touch this
There are a f*ck ton of statistics out there highlighting the importance of "hands on" learning. A Harvard study found that active learning techniques improved learning outcomes across the board, even when students felt it wasn't as effective. And we have first hand experience of it working beautifully.
Getting your hands dirty really is the best way to develop new skills, retain information, and reduce the dreaded "skill fade" that plagues our industry.
Favourite Teacher
Think back to school. A long way back for some of you, we know. Now think about who your favourite teacher was. Was it the one who was always moaning at you? The one who was a bit more stick than carrot? The one who droned on at you from a textbook?
If it was, then you're ok to stop reading here. But if you chose the one who made you laugh, got you engaged, and made you think about the subject in a whole new way, you're in luck. We're well on the way to becoming your new favourite training partner.
Common Sense
One of the reasons active learning (like our interactive escape rooms) works so well is that it engages more of your senses, which allows your brain to create more memories about the experience you are having.
In layman's terms, if you can touch, see, and hear an activity, your brain lights up like a Christmas tree. You'll retain the knowledge for longer, and be more likely to recall it when you need it.
Can't argue with science.

behind every great game...
...is a team that probably stayed up way too late perfecting it for you.
Our mission? To make learning about cybersecurity as thrilling as binge-watching a crime drama, minus the couch potato guilt. Whether we’re crafting intricate storylines, building mind-bending challenges, or testing just how hard that final puzzle really is (hint: it’s hard), we’re all about creating moments that stick.
We don’t just talk about teamwork and problem-solving—we live it. And yes, we’re a little competitive when it comes to game nights.

they came, they played, they loved it.
The cyber escape room has been excellent. We took it away to Germany and had 25 people go through it, all of the thought it was really fun and made them start thinking about their security procedures.
It has been critically useful to focus people's attention to the threats, and what they can do to reduce the risk of us being attacked.
Big thumbs ip from us!

The Cyber Escape Room Co. ran The Heist escape room for our Cyber Summit event at White Hart Lane.
Having an activity, and especially one that was 'hands on' and didn't involve any screens, made for a really nice change of pace and kept all our guests engaged.
Everyone involved really enjoyed themselves and we had some great feedback. I'd definitely recommend The Cyber Escape Room Co. to anyone looking for something a little different for their events.

We have often struggled for away day activities as we have quite a wide range of staff to accommodate, so some people often lose out. The escape room was a great to bring the team together inclusively, in a familiar but challenging way.
It definitely ticked our boxes and we will definitely be keeping you in mind for future team-building and away-day activities.
In the words of ebay of old: top company, great comms, fast delivery, items as described. Would definitely recommend. A++.

Last month we trialled Elementary at our face to face team event in Birmingham!
The competition between the teams was fierce, everyone was standing at one point, and the sneaky glances between the teams didn’t go unnoticed…but the boss lady’s team cracked the code first claiming victory!
Such a great, well thought out and designed challenge with first class props and thankfully fool proof instructions for the facilitator (me).
It was a great product - so good, we even had a few of team looking to take it home!
A great product that everyone enjoyed, thank you again

Huge thanks to the Cyber Escape Room Company for an outstanding experience! Over 100 Admiral colleagues participated, and the feedback was fantastic.
It was a fun, engaging, and educational event. We appreciate the effort and creativity behind it. Here's to more team building and skill development!

We hired two of the Cyber Escape Rooms, The Heist and Elementary.
The escape rooms were fun and engaging and brought something different to Cyber Awareness Month.
Everyone enjoyed doing them and we had so much positive feedback. It also brought to life how good security hygiene, such as password management and not over-sharing on social media is so important and made everyone think about good security practices and how they can put this into action daily.

our values.
Be intriguing
When people have fun and are curious, they learn more, they engage better, and make positive connections with the subject.
Be inclusive
We don't like leaving people out, so that means finding ways of including everyone and ensuring there are equal opportunities for learning.
Be innovative
When we stand still, we lose our competitive edge so we’re always on the look out for new ideas, new connections and new ways to think.
