Take part in a cyber version of the popular escape room concept. Developed for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Industrial Control Systems Escape Room, or "ICScape Room," provides a dynamic learning experience for newcomers to cybersecurity as well as seasoned cyber incident responders. The ICScape Room experience includes a series of traditional escape room puzzles mixed with cybersecurity elements that utilize passive and active network discovery tools and techniques. Puzzles exist for all skill levels.
