Does the email that appeared at the top of your inbox contain a fishy-sounding URL or typos and grammatical errors? If so, it might be a phishing scam.

You’re invited to take a crack at deciphering a safe email from a malicious one at UNLV’s first cybersecurity escape room. Students and faculty from UNLV’s Department of Computer Science and the Free Cyber Clinic built and designed the activity as part of the annual GenCyber Camp.

Throughout the weeklong camp, local high school students learned the cybersecurity concepts necessary to complete the various challenges on display in the escape room. Now, it’s your turn! The campus is invited to check out the escape room via guided tours that are given every 30 minutes between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. over the course of the two days.

The escape room is split up into segmented compartments, each featuring a cybersecurity challenge that must be solved before moving on to the next area. Challenges include USB tampering, lock picking, invisible ink, and code cracking. If you make it to the final challenge, and win, the antagonist will be revealed.

Remember, cybersecurity is a team effort, and together, we can outsmart the antagonist and secure our digital world.

See you at the escape room!
