who said cyber training can't be fun?

There are a f*ck ton of stats out there about the power of “hands-on” learning. A Harvard study even proved that active learning techniques improve outcomes across the board – even when people think they don’t. Spoiler: we’ve seen it work beautifully in real life.

Getting your hands dirty really is the best way to build new skills, remember what you’ve learned, and avoid the dreaded “skill fade” that plagues our industry.

Now, think back to school. A long way back for some of you, we know. Who was your favourite teacher? The one who droned on from a textbook? The one who lived for detention slips? Didn’t think so.

If you picked the one who made you laugh, pulled you into the lesson, and got you thinking differently – great news. You’ve just met your new favourite training partner.

Here’s the thing: active learning (like our escape rooms) works because it engages all your senses. You see it, touch it, hear it, solve it – and suddenly your brain lights up like a Christmas tree. Science says you’ll retain the knowledge longer and actually use it when it matters.

And let’s be honest: you can’t argue with science.
