Hacker in the Shadows – An insider black hat hacker in a Billion dollar company.

Introduction: A Game Like No Other

In a world where cybersecurity is no longer a niche topic but a daily concern, Hack in the Shadows brings the thrill of ethical hacking, team dynamics, and strategy right to your game nights. Whether you're a cybersecurity professional, a strategic gamer, or someone just looking for a unique team-building experience, this game promises intrigue, collaboration, and deception like never before.

What is Hack in the Shadows?

Hack in the Shadow is a cybersecurity-themed card game designed for 6–12 players. It blends strategy, leadership, and role-playing into an immersive social deduction experience. Players take on roles such as the CEO, CTO, Black Hats (hackers), Blue Hats (defenders), and more to either secure the company network or plunge it into chaos.

The game is played over two phases:

1. Night Phase: Players secretly carry out their roles—hacking, defending, or investigating.
2. Day Phase: The team deliberates, accuses, and votes to uncover the hackers before it’s too late.

Roles That Bring the Game to Life

The unique roles in Hack in the Shadows make every round dynamic and unpredictable:

• CEO: The team leader who oversees the operation and influences decisions.
• CTO: A key player whose loyalty is hidden—friend or foe?
• Black Hats: Hackers working covertly to disrupt the system.
• Blue Hats: Defenders striving to protect the network.
• White Hats: Ethical hackers uncovering threats and aiding the defenders.
• Purple Hats: Protectors who can shield key players or neutralize threats.

Each role comes with its own abilities and challenges, ensuring no two games are ever the same.

Why Cybersecurity?

The inspiration behind Hack in the Shadows comes from the growing relevance of cybersecurity in our daily lives. Data breaches, phishing attacks, and ransomware have become common terms, and the game offers a creative way to explore these concepts in an engaging, approachable manner. Plus, who doesn’t love the idea of outsmarting a hacker—or being one?
