The game looks and feels fantastic. Frankly, a lot of the security games in my collection either look ort feel flimsy, and that sends an unfortunate message.

ABOUT THE GAME

Enter The Spudnet is a highly strategic edutainment game which simplifies networking and cybersecurity concepts for anyone. The game creates an analogy of the internet and data transmission to convey seemingly complex concepts in a very relatable manner.

You (the Client), puts in a request (a Spudnet Order) to a web server (Warehouse). The server then dispatches the data packets (Ships), hopping through multiple routes (Nodes) to reach you. 

Learn about internet layers, client-server interaction and network nodes amongst so much more! Develop cyber awareness and good cyber hygiene practices in a fun, interactive and screen-free manner.
