Abstract
A large fraction of cybercrimes could be prevented with improved cybersecurity awareness training. We have developed a virtual cybersecurity escape room based on the three-dimensional Unity game development platform. This application is based on the proven Octalysis gamification framework, which has been shown to improve user engagement and knowledge retention. Following a discussion of the application design, this position paper presents playtesting results, work in progress, and experimental quantification based on eight gamification metrics.
