Build a Cybersecurity Awareness Game (Gamified Learning App)

Cyber threats often succeed due to a lack of user awareness. Gamification turns dry training content into engaging, memorable experiences that help people better understand how to spot and respond to phishing, malware, password attacks, and more.

This project delivers cybersecurity training through interactive games, real-world simulations, and quizzes. It improves retention by rewarding good choices, providing instant feedback, and allowing users to learn at their own pace in a gamified environment.

Users begin at level 1 and go through interactive challenges covering topics like phishing, password safety, device hygiene, and physical security. Each correct decision earns rewards, while wrong answers provide educational feedback. The app logs scores, ranks users, and allows topic-based practice.

• Users choose a module or play through progressive levels.
• Each level simulates real cybersecurity threats in an interactive format.
• Players make decisions and receive immediate feedback and scores.
• Gamified features include lives, badges, level-ups, and scoreboards.
• Admin dashboard (optional) tracks engagement and weak areas for group training.

• NIST Cybersecurity Awareness Toolkit
• OWASP Top 10 Security Risks
• Gamification Tips for Learning Apps
• React Native for Mobile Game Apps
• Chart.js for Progress Visualization
