Digital Disarray: The Breach of DataCorp

Digital Disarray: The Breach of DataCorp

Digital Disarray: The Breach of DataCorp is an innovative educational escape room game that transforms cybersecurity training into an immersive, high-stakes adventure. Developed through a Design Thinking module and enhanced with AI tools, it addresses a critical gap: while many understand cybersecurity principles, they struggle to apply them consistently, a problem worsened by traditional training methods that fail to engage learners and improve retention. In this game, players tackle thrilling puzzles to master practical skills spotting phishing scams, securing passwords, and protecting Wi-Fi making learning both effective and fun. Starting as a vague idea at the University of Brighton, our team’s journey took us to ECGBL 2024 in Denmark, where we competed against top global teams and reached the finals, showcasing the game’s impact and the urgent need for interactive, hands-on cybersecurity education.

Cybersecurity’s Dirty Secret: Humans Cause 70% of Breaches

Cybersecurity’s Dirty Secret: Humans Cause 70% of Breaches

Cybersecurity’s Dirty Secret: Humans Cause 70% of Breaches

Here’s the harsh truth that 70% of cybersecurity breaches come from human errors, not high-tech hacks like falling for phishing emails, using weak passwords (think names or “12345”), or logging in over unsecured coffee shop Wi-Fi. Studies show people know these risks companies push training with videos and sessions but it doesn’t stick because it’s dull and forgettable. This leaves habits sloppy, systems vulnerable, and businesses losing millions to breaches. Our interactive web game changes that, hooking players to actively learn and defend, turning passive trainees into sharp protectors.

Surveys confirmed a knowledge-action divide: 82% knew risks, but many reused passwords, skipped email checks, and avoided VPNs. Phishing awareness didn’t translate to caution, and proactive habits like app permission reviews were uncommon. Updates and backups were strengths, but incident reporting lagged. Better education on proactive cybersecurity is essential.

In the Define phase, we synthesized our findings from surveys and interviews to pinpoint the core user need: people understand cybersecurity risks but lack engaging, practical ways to act on that knowledge. We tackled this by clustering insights through affinity mapping, which showed a clear preference for interactive solutions over passive lectures. Next, we framed "How Might We" questions to turn these insights into actionable design challenges. Finally, we distilled everything into a problem statement that would steer our project: How might we create a hands-on learning experience that transforms cybersecurity awareness into consistent, real-world action? This phase set a focused direction for ideation and design.

In the Prototype phase, we crafted both low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes using Figma and Genially, designing puzzles that seamlessly blend learning with thrilling challenges. We threaded a grounded narrative storyline into the design, refining it with team feedback to keep the plot relatable rather than purely fictional, while striking a perfect balance between fun and education. Adjusting puzzle complexity for accessibility, this process built a robust foundation, priming an immersive cybersecurity experience for testing.

In the Ideate phase, we explored a wealth of ideas using mood boards, storyboards, and mind maps, focusing on crafting puzzles, storylines, narratives, and plots to enhance cybersecurity learning. We embraced a quantity-over-quality brainstorming approach, amplified by new techniques, to spark diverse concepts freely. A revisit to the Define phase sharpened our focus, ensuring our ideation process generated creative foundations for an engaging, narrative-driven solution.

Affinity Mapping

Clustering Insights from Gathered Information

We took all the raw data from the Empathize phase—survey responses like "training feels disconnected" and interview quotes like "I forget what I learn"—and organized them into clusters on a digital whiteboard. Using sticky notes, we grouped similar ideas, uncovering key themes: users wanted training that stuck with them and felt relevant to their daily lives. This process revealed a strong user preference for interactive, memorable experiences over traditional, lecture-based methods, giving us a solid foundation for the next steps.

HMW Questions

Questioning User Insights with 'How Might We'

With our affinity map in hand, we brainstormed questions to bridge insights and solutions. We wrote questions like "How might we make cybersecurity training feel like a game?" and "How might we embed real-world scenarios into learning?" on a shared doc, refining them as a team to ensure they were specific yet open-ended. This activity shifted our focus from just identifying problems to sparking creative, user-centered ideas, setting the stage for ideation.

SWOT Analysis

Our Edge is in Building a Memorable Learning Experience

During the Define phase, our SWOT analysis highlighted a powerful strength: our ability to create memorable, hands-on learning experiences that stand out in the cybersecurity education space. Unlike traditional solutions that prioritize accessibility but lack impact, we identified an opportunity to deliver engaging, practical lessons that users retain and apply. This advantage empowers us to meet the demand for effective education, setting the stage for a solution that transforms how users learn and act.
