How it works

Investigate

Walk around Orange Vista, talk to people, and gather clues. You work out what went wrong before anyone tells you.

Learn why

Questions, lessons and a field guide connect what you saw to the real networking idea behind it.

Prove it

Each game ends with a case file that shows your name, your results and the date. Screenshot it and turn it in.

Questions

Which game do I play first?

Game 1, DNS Quest: Operation Wrong Address. It walks you through what DNS poisoning is. Game 2 comes a few days later and gives you less help.

Do I need an account?

No. You type your name when the game starts. Your progress is saved in this browser on this device only, so use the same computer if you want to continue.

Can I replay to get a better score?

The graded run counts once. Points lost to wrong answers and hints can’t be earned back, even if you restart. Game 2 also has a Study mode that is not scored, and after you close the case you can roam Orange Vista for fun.

What do I turn in?

The case file the game gives you when you close the case. Your teacher will tell you whether to screenshot it or submit it another way.

My progress disappeared. What happened?

Progress lives in the browser. Clearing site data, using a private window, or switching browsers or devices starts a new run. Tell your teacher if this happens.

Can I copy these games or host them somewhere else?

No. They are copyrighted and all rights are reserved. Please don’t copy, host or redistribute them.
