Be honest—how many people actually remember your last training course or internal campaign?
How much effort goes into engagement, only for employees to skim past, tune out, or forget it entirely?
Corporate training is full of checkbox exercises—mandatory modules people click through just to tick a box. Communications teams face the same challenge: getting employees to absorb critical information and act on it, not just acknowledge it.
But what if training wasn’t just another task to complete? What if it became an experience people wanted to take part in?
AI-driven online escape rooms are an essential addition to the professional communicator’s toolkit. They don’t just deliver information—they embed it.
And while this methodology applies to any topic, learn how a global leader went beyond traditional e-learning and communications to deliver a truly unique and groundbreaking immersive cybersecurity experience.
The future was under attack.
One morning, in a reality very similar to our own, screens across the company glitched and jammed with a pulsing kaleidoscopic pattern. Systems were down. A rogue AI—CHIP—had infiltrated their networks.
Scattered clues appeared across offices, warehouses, and distribution centres, but employees weren’t alone.
With guidance from their cybersecurity team from the future, they collaborated to uncover vulnerabilities, close security loopholes, and fight back in a first-person story spanning multiple timelines.
The challenge wasn’t just about delivering another phishing exercise or coining a new slogan that wouldn’t translate into action. It was about making cybersecurity feel like second nature—a practical, everyday skill relevant to everyone, and not just another compliance requirement.
Played on mobiles, desktops, and even via Teams calls, the experience was designed to be fun, light-hearted, and engaging. The story sparked new conversations, friendly competition, and a shift in how employees thought about cybersecurity.
The takeaway? Even the smallest, seemingly inconsequential actions today can play a big part in safeguarding everyone’s future tomorrow.
This wasn’t passive training. It was a story—a narrative-driven challenge where every employee was able to star as the central character.
Many organisations stick to what’s familiar—recycling the same training courses, the same posters, the same campaigns.
But this global leader did something truly innovative.
They saw an opportunity to use AI to break the mould, cut through the noise, and transform cybersecurity learning into an experience their employees would actually remember.
Partnering with Liminal Shift, they developed AUTO: The Chronal Breach, a fully AI-enhanced escape room experience, 100% tailored to their business.
The project included:
🔹 A fully immersive online escape room—custom-built around their business and real-world security challenges.
🔹 A supporting communications campaign—from video teaser trailers and posters to adaptable articles for local teams to repurpose.
🔹 11-language adaptation—ensuring accessibility across their global workforce.
🔹 AI-powered creative workflows—accelerating development while maintaining creative excellence.
What happens when learning is no longer passive? Employees take action. After playing AUTO: The Chronal Breach, employees didn’t just “complete the module”—they talked about it and applied what they learned.
🔹 Rolled out to 29,000+ employees across 37 countries.
🔹 Cybersecurity awareness increased—with employees engaging in discussions about threats and solutions.
🔹 Training that sticks—because when learning is immersive and interactive, it doesn’t get forgotten.
This wasn’t just another cybersecurity module. This was AI implemented properly—used to create a unique, boundary-pushing experience that employees actually wanted to talk about.
Escape rooms aren’t just for cybersecurity. This narrative + gamification + AI approach can transform any training or communication challenge—from compliance and onboarding to leadership and behavioural change.
