Questions about CyberPlay training
What is QR phishing?
QR phishing, also called quishing, uses a QR code to send someone to a deceptive destination. A convincing poster or familiar logo does not establish who controls the linked website.
Preview the URL before opening it. If a request is unexpected, reach the service through a known bookmark, app or independently verified address.
Warning signs to recognise
- An unexpected code asks you to sign in or provide payment details.
- The destination domain differs from the service you intended to use.
- A reward or urgent instruction discourages checking the destination.

- Data Dash
A 3D endless runner through a sunlit city. Jump, slide and dodge to collect data, deliver it safely, and make quick security choices.
- Find the Fake Login
A short investigative awareness game about sign-in pages: decide whether each login flow is legitimate, suspicious or malicious — by investigating, not by judging the logo. Twenty scenarios in four chapters, played from a 3D workstation.
- INSIDER
A multiplayer social-deduction game on floor 4 of Northwind Dynamics. Most players work through an ordinary day; one or two are running an attack chain — tailgating a badge door, dropping a USB stick, swapping a QR poster, changing a supplier’s bank details.
- QR Hunt
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.
- The Social Engineer
You are Jordan Hale, Operations Analyst on the twelfth floor. People will ask for help, and some of them should have it. One workday from 09:00 to 16:45 puts ten or eleven requests at the badge door, the desk, the printer and the phone — the score is not how suspicious you were, it is how well you checked.
