| “How long will the game last?”
There will be two runs – over two afternoons – of 4 hours of real world time each. There will be a 30 minutes plenary briefing before the first run and a 30 minutes debrief after each run.
“Where?"
The game will be played on Discord, so you will need access to it and an account.
“Which team roles will be available?”
Teams in the game will include:
- Incident Manager
- CISO
- Media Relations & Internal Communications
- Legal & HR
- Service Delivery & Operations
- Detect & Response
- Red Cell (the “bad guys”)
“I want to enter as an individual”
No problem. Purchase a ticket in 44CON’s shop and indicate your role preference(s).
Maybe choose to experience it from a different role to the one you currently hold and gain a new perspective. Hopefully we will be able to give you your preferred choice, but this may not always be possible and roles will be assigned by the organisers.
“I want to enter a team.”
The game is perfectly suited as a team bonding or assessment exercise. Teams are composed of 4–6 members. Please contact us at registration@44CON.com to register your team and obtain an invoice for the team entry.
“How do we operate with a team? Who is the CISO/attacker/marketing etc? Do we work together in the same virtual room or are we split?”
Each team considers their actions and allocation of team resources as a group, but then also engages with other teams and incident coordinators to agree joint activity, where needed. Team activity is facilitated by a Control Team who guide the team and provide adjudication where necessary.
“How do we know who wins?”
In this sort of game there is no 'winner' as such – each team is given objectives and invited to consider how well they did in achieving those objectives. The point of the game is to experience the challenges of crisis management – this is primarily a 'safe to fail environment' and an opportunity to gain insights.
“I've never played this sort of game before, will I be totally lost?”
This game is designed to be accessible to those unfamiliar with games, and in fact will be novel even to those experienced in playing things like board or computer games. And there are no complicated rules to learn!
“What ticket options?”
There are several options:
- play the game and attend workshops and lunchtime talks: £ 150 inc VAT (£125 ex VAT)
- attend workshops and lunchtime talks: free of charge but you need to register
- support us and add/buy a tshirt and/or a hoodie (shipped after the event)
