About Helical Levity

We're the team that built CyberStart, a gamified education product for young adults.

Teaching cyber security to 13-18 year olds is hard. Really hard. It's a challenging subject that requires an unusual delivery mechanism to be effective for this age group. That's why our team built CyberStart, an innovative platform that gamifies cyber security education, and has now been used by over 200k students. In this, students take on the role of an agent in the cyber protection agency and get to hack, forensicate and code break their way through levels filled with a rich narrative, immersive design and realistic security labs. You can have a go here: CyberStart Go!

Our team combines a team of passionate and talented designers, developers and security researchers. Most of the team work remotely, but we do have an amazing office in Ascott- under-Wychwood, if an office environment is preferable for you!
