This isn’t just a fun game. It’s a carefully engineered educational tool, designed by educators and game designers to blend cognitive learning with engaging narrative play.

Instead of death-by-slide-deck, players learn about cybersecurity threats and network infrastructure by living it—strategising against malware, deploying firewalls, countering DDoS attacks, and racing to deliver data packets across risky networks.

It’s chaotic.
It’s strategic.
And it’s surprisingly educational.

From subnets to IP addresses, tunneling to firewalls, and from honeypots to malwares—Enter The Spudnet makes the abstract tangible.

🎮 Flexible Fun for All Ages

• 👩‍🏫 Great for classrooms, coding camps & corporate training
• 🧠 Dual Modes: Competitive & Cooperative Gameplay
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For 2–6 players | Ages 9+ | 60–90 minutes

No technical jargon needed to start playing. Players simply learn by doing—making it a perfect tool for demystifying cybersecurity for all ages.

Players take on the roles of Potato Pirates factions who are delivering goods across the Spudnet—a not-so-subtle nod to our real-world internet. The brilliance of Enter The Spudnet lies in how complex concepts are embedded in play:

• 📦 Warehouses = Servers
• 🚢 Ships = Data Packets
• 🌐 Ports = Network Nodes
• 🥔 Potatoes = Client Requests

🔐 What You’ll Learn (Without Even Realizing It):

• 🌐 Network Infrastructure – Learn how devices and systems connect
• 🦠 Malware Mechanics – Spot, spread, and defend against digital threats
• 📦 Data Propagation – Watch how data flows (or fails) in the wild

Raffles Institution has used Enter The Spudnet in multiple workshops, introducing students to the fundamentals of internet architecture.

At the national level, agencies and companies use it for outreach and awareness. Cyber Security Agency of Singapore has conducted multiple runs of onboarding and internal training sessions using Enter The Spudnet as a core engagement tool while Govware prominently featured Enter The Spudnet as part of their event in 2022.

Why? Because it works. Students say it feels more like game night than class. Participants remember the gameplay. They remember the concepts as it is hands-on, engaging, and highly memorable. They apply what they’ve learned—without ever having opened a textbook or clicked through a training portal.

✅ Trusted by Educators. Loved by Learners.

This isn’t just theory on a screen. It’s tactile, team-based learning that maps directly to concepts taught in secondary school computing, cybersecurity training, and even onboarding for new tech hires.

👥 Two Game Modes. One Unforgettable Experience.

• 🆚 Competitive Mode: Use real networking concepts—like transmission boosts, firewalls, and rerouting—to outplay your opponents and slow their progress.
• 🤝 Co-Op Mode: Join forces to stop a growing army of bots from taking over the Spudnet. Collaboration is key.

• 🎓 Curriculum-aligned – Cybersecurity fundamentals embedded in gameplay
• 🧠 Critical thinking first – Learn by doing and solving problems, no rote memorisation
• 🚀 High-energy and hands-on – Works for student or corporate training
• 🤝 Collaborative & social – Whether in the classroom or the office, teams learn faster when they’re playing together
• 📜 STEM.org certified – This isn't just fun. It’s globally certified to teach real STEM and cybersecurity skills

Whether you're a:

• 🏫 Secondary school or JC teacher introducing cybersecurity
• 🧑‍💼 MOE-approved educator designing an unplugged CS lesson
• 🏛 Polytechnic or university running a taster workshop
• 🎪 Tech company looking for smarter ways to teach cyber awareness

Enter The Spudnet is easy to deploy, even easier to learn, and leaves a lasting impression that slides and simulations rarely achieve.
