The Server Room: escape the IT basement.

A small, ridiculous platform game about very real security basics: patching, MFA, tested backups, admin rights and the office printer that has become far too confident.

What it teaches

Five minutes of arcade nonsense. A few useful habits.

The game is deliberately silly, but the controls are not. Each pickup maps to a real security behaviour we look for during a Security & IT Health Check.

Patching

Known vulnerabilities are the unlocked windows of IT. Patch quickly, prioritise exposed systems, and stop treating updates as decorative.

MFA

A stolen password should not be enough to walk into your Microsoft 365 tenant wearing a false moustache and a sense of entitlement.

Backups

Backups only count when they restore. The game rewards tested recovery because reality is similarly fussy.

Admin rights

Too many admins turns one compromised account into a very expensive Tuesday. Least privilege keeps incidents smaller.
