# Cyber Cup

> The fully customizable cyber competition: custom game flow, boss fights and a public leaderboard.

Competition · SaaS · Arcade quiz

## Overview

**Cyber Cup** turns security awareness into a competition: you create a cup, you share a link, your teams battle through timed arcade-quiz runs. No account required on the player side: a nickname is enough, or not even that in arcade mode.

On the menu: **14 mini-game formats** (passwords, email and SMS phishing, WiFi, social media, deepfakes, booby-trapped browsing…), over **7,000 questions** in **9 languages**, and **4 boss fights + 2 bonus modes** built for spectacle. Scoring rewards speed and streaks of right answers.

On the organizer side, everything is configurable: custom game flow, number of lives, run duration, scoring mode, your own question bank, theme and logo. A **skills map** tracks your teams’ progress theme by theme, **SAML SSO** connects your directory, and anti-cheat is hardened against automated agents. An **arcade mode** turns the competition into a touch kiosk for your events, with no identity to enter.

## Highlights
