Because the best feedback comes from the people who were there.
This was our first time running cyber escape rooms at The Telegraph, and we were blown away. Word spread so quickly we ended up with a waiting list, and people were stopping me in the corridor to tell me how much they loved it.
We achieved 97% positive feedback and 94% of colleagues said they'd definitely do it again.
Many expected it to be technical, but the experience was hands-on, accessible, and genuinely fun. The puzzles and props brought the learning to life in a way that traditional training just doesn't. It's entertaining, memorable, and makes key cyber behaviours stick.
We've now built this into our ongoing L&D and cyber awareness programme and are already planning our next round of sessions. A huge thank you to The Cyber Escape Room Co. for transforming our training in the best possible way.
The Cyber Escape Room experience was a game-changer for our security awareness training. Our teams were fully engaged, with participants describing the sessions as 'actually fun' (something you rarely hear about cybersecurity training).
The interactive scenarios sparked meaningful conversations about password security, multi-factor authentication, and insider risks. One participant even changed all their passwords right after the session.
It's not just training. It's an experience that genuinely changes behaviour.
The cyber escape room has been excellent. We took it away to Germany and I had five teams of five go through it. All of them thought it was really fun and made them start thinking about their security procedures.
The most interesting parts were during the debriefs. Hearing people's own experiences of being hacked, then pulling out the similarities between those attacks and what they learnt in the room. Critically useful.
Big thumbs up from us.
Beyond having enjoyed the game, this was the most impactful messaging we've been able to deliver to support our guidance regarding passwords and use of MFA.
The discussions these events have sparked within the Peabody workforce have demonstrated a level of impact and understanding we haven't previously achieved.
We look forward to further collaboration with The Cyber Escape Room Co.
We ran the first of what will be many events that raise security awareness within the company in a really fun and informative way. Feedback from the participants was extremely positive and off the back of that we are overbooked for the next two.
Cyber doesn't always have to be boring, and it NEVER is when Amy's in the room.
...thankfully we weren't live, because Amy did say Sh*t and B*ll*cks. Davina would be disappointed.
Over 100 Admiral colleagues participated, and the feedback was fantastic. It was a fun, engaging, and educational event. We appreciate the effort and creativity behind it.
Everyone enjoyed doing the escape rooms and we had so much positive feedback. It brought to life how good security hygiene (password management, not oversharing on social media) is so important, and made everyone think about how they can put this into action daily.
We've often struggled for away day activities. The escape room was a great way to bring the team together inclusively, in a familiar but challenging way.
It definitely ticked our boxes. In the words of eBay of old: top company, great comms, fast delivery, items as described. A++. Would definitely recommend.

Case study
PEABODY:
THE ESCAPE ROOMS THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING.
Peabody, one of the UK's biggest housing associations, was stuck in the classic cyber rut: people knew the rules, but nothing was actually changing. So they swapped slide decks for escape rooms.
Over a year, 311 colleagues played their way through hosted and self-run sessions (all from a rucksack-sized kit). The impact? Faster phishing reports, less pushback on security tools, more curiosity, more conversations, and an InfoSec team being asked questions. Proactively.
