the brief

The Matrix Challenge 2020 is an exciting cyber security program aimed at 11 to 17 year olds across the UK.

The Matrix Challenge an innovative cyber competition designed and delivered by Toasted Digital with the the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Cyber Crime Unit.

Toasted Digital worked closely with the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Cyber Crime unit to produce a HTML5 game that tests the cyber skills of 11-17 year olds, with the end goal of identifying the top competitors who will gain a place at the live final. We've delivered both 2019 and 2020 games.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 live finals were delayed, and needed a solution. We designed a virtual final and developed a capture the flag game to crown the winners remotely.
