The world of our game is both imaginative and realistic. In the game, robots collect data like it’s treasure, just as they do in the real world. As a player, you take on the role of the leader of these malicious robots, instructing them to collect data by any means possible. 

The actions of the robots may seem harmless, but they pose a serious threat. For example, Phishermän’s Freud lures his victims into his net by trying to trick them in every possible way. Ro Mans, the leader of the romance scams, exploits people’s need to be loved and noticed, manipulating them through this human need. 

However, the rogue robots face their own challenges, as they have to protect their own backs and secure their own data. This means that players should be careful when sharing data. Suspicious links should be avoided.

The challenges in the game help players understand how and by what means they can be attacked online and how to protect themselves in real life. For example, players learn to recognise phishing emails that try to trick them into revealing personal information, and malware that can damage computers and networks. These skills help players to be cautious and make safe choices when surfing the web.  

Every unclicked phishing link and unopened seductive message makes the online world a safer and more secure place, protecting people from unnecessary worry and concern. In this way, players not only protect themselves, but also improve the safety of the entire online community.
