Officer Briefing

🛡️ GATEWAY is a cybersecurity game. While you check travelers, you'll learn real online-safety skills: spotting strong and weak passwords, two-step login (MFA), phishing websites, fake identities, encrypted data, and only giving people the access they need.

You guard the security gate at GATEWAY Spaceport. Hackers, impersonators and data smugglers are trying to board today's flight.

  1. Each traveler hands you a passport, a boarding pass and their luggage.
  2. Work through the Checklist: mark each item ✓ (fine) or ✗ (red flag).
  3. Use the Rulebook to verify issuers, seals, websites and tokens.
  4. Passport names are encrypted. Crack them with the Cipher Note.
  5. Pick up a rubber stamp and stamp the passport APPROVED or DENIED. 2 or more red flags means deny. One minor slip can pass.

You check 6 travelers per shift, then your ship launches. 6/6 right: a smooth landing on Nova Prime. 4 or 5: aliens chase you the whole way. 3 or fewer: the ship goes down.
