QR Hunt — Cybersecurity Game

Scanning a QR code is like clicking a link you cannot read first. Walk a modern office, check twelve codes across six rooms, and decide for each one: open it, ignore it, or report it.

QR Hunt is a free browser-based cybersecurity game. Scanning a QR code is like clicking a link you cannot read first. Walk a modern office, check twelve codes across six rooms, and decide for each one: open it, ignore it, or report it.

Difficulty: Beginner. Estimated play time: 8 minutes.

The game never asks you to "go find some QR codes". It gives you one small objective at a time, and the HUD always answers four questions: what to do, where it is, how far away it is, and which key to press.

A run is fourteen steps: learn the controls, twelve inspection steps ordered as a walking loop through reception, kitchen, corridor, print room, meeting room and open plan, and finally the security report filed at the reception console.

Each scan opens a phone: the full web address with the registered domain highlighted, whether the connection is encrypted, what the page claims to be, and where you found the code — plus three checks to run before you choose Open, Ignore or Report. Every decision is answered with the risk, the better move and a one-line lesson.

The company name you type on the opening screen flows through the official QR destinations, the wall signage, the training copy and the enterprise software shown on the in-world monitors. All nine platform languages are first-class — English, Română, Français, Deutsch, Nederlands, Italiano, Español, Polski and Українська — and three graphics tiers (with an adaptive Auto) keep it playable on an ordinary work laptop.

Nineteen workplace lures and nineteen physical mounts are drawn on at random, so each run changes which codes are malicious, where some of them sit and which URL variant appears. Every destination is a reserved .example or .test address — the game never opens a real site and never asks for a password.
