Boring training doesn't change behaviour.
Annual compliance modules, click-through awareness courses, 67-slide decks about phishing... your people have sat through all of it. And when the real thing arrives, they still click the link.
ESC works differently. We drop your team into a physical scenario - a ransomware attack, a stolen rucksack, a locked-down equipment room - and let them feel the pressure of a real incident in a safe environment. People remember what they experience, not what they're told.
No tech required. No previous security knowledge needed. Just your team, a kit full of props and puzzles, and 30–45 minutes that changes how they think about security for good.
-
Portable
Your office. A conference room. A pub. If there's a table, we can run a game there. No installation, no AV setup, no specialist space required.
-
Team Based
Everyone gets involved... the problem-solvers, the overthinkers, the person who saw something on Netflix once. It's teamwork, but genuinely fun.
-
Portable
Teams are still referencing the puzzles and games after the event. That ongoing conversation is what shifts culture... not the training itself.
-
Scalable
Back-to-back rotations across multiple kits means you can put 50+ people through the experience in a single day. Works for teams of 3 or organisations of thousands.

Step into Sherlock's office. The blueprints have been stolen. Ciphers, a cryptex, Morse code intercepts, and an origami puzzle that makes encryption click in a way no slide deck ever will.

OT / ICS Scenario

three ways to deliver esc.
facilitated sessions
We turn up, set up, and run everything. Hosts bring the energy, manage the pressure, and deliver a structured debrief that connects gameplay to real behaviours.
Kit Hire
We ship you a complete, ready-to-run kit. Your internal champions run the session... same puzzles, same impact, on your own schedule.
Long-Term Rental
Keep the kit year-round. Run it whenever you like. Swap scenarios throughout the year to keep the experience fresh and cover different security topics.

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 games weren't just entertaining; they were a powerful tool for driving home critical security messages. It's an experience that genuinely changes behaviour.
