Data Dash is a free browser-based cybersecurity game. A 3D endless runner through a sunlit city. Jump, slide and dodge to collect data, deliver it safely, and make quick security choices.
Difficulty: Beginner. Estimated play time: 5 minutes.
Carry glowing data capsules through the city and bank them at delivery gates. The first target is 10 delivered data; each delivery moves the target forward. Traffic, barriers, gaps and overhead obstacles keep the route changing as speed rises.
Backups protect a saved cargo state and can earn one automatic rescue per run. Check destination addresses, reject unexpected login requests and revoke tools that ask for too much access. Lightning pickups provide a short protected speed boost.
Optional short questions before a run or while paused explore privacy, scams, AI, kindness and wellbeing. They never interrupt active running. Arcade scores describe the run; the separate 30-question knowledge check evaluates your answers.
What you will learn
- Compare full destination addresses and reject unexpected login approvals.
- Grant only necessary permissions and understand that a backup preserves a saved state.
- Practise privacy, verification and asking for help through optional questions.
