Explore the Cybersecurity Games

Beyond learning paths, Project Ares offers minigames that reinforce core cybersecurity concepts through fast-paced gameplay. Games are for practice only and don’t affect your XP or learning path progress. You’ll find them under GAMES in the main menu.

  • Astro-Defense – Destroy incoming cyber threats by firing the correct logic gate beam, and master Boolean logic under fire.
  • Cylitaire: Kill Chain – Build the full Cyber Kill Chain across 6 attack sequences. Drag each tool card onto the correct phase to see how real adversary attacks unfold.
  • Trivialoot: Cyber Jeopardy – A Jeopardy-style board for cyber defenders. Pick categories, wager on Daily Doubles, and prove your knowledge in the Final round.
  • Regexile: Codebot Defense – Defend the command base from waves of Codebots by typing regex patterns.
  • Portflow – Route network traffic by connecting port numbers to their matching protocols. Draw non-crossing paths across the grid and race the clock to clear them all.
  • Threat Modeler – Map how an adversary could move through a target network, then see where detection coverage holds and where it has gaps.
