Introducing our New CTF Builder Feature!

Introducing TryHackMe's latest game-changing feature: the all-new CTF Builder! 🚀

Get ready to design tailored CTFs to match your specific learning objectives, create friendly competitive CTFs to share with friends, colleagues, or fellow TryHackMe members, and simulate real-world scenarios by customising challenges to mimic the threats and vulnerabilities you want to explore!

Exclusive to Business and Education clients, the CTF Builder allows for more collaborative and competitive gamified training for your team.

Continue reading to find out more about the brand new CTF Builder and how you create your very own CTF event. Let’s dive in!

What is the CTF Builder?

Our CTF Builder is a brand new feature, enabling users to create a CTF event based on the 200+ CTF challenges which exist on the TryHackMe platform.

Based on user insights, many teams value training events and CTFs. However, the lack of time and/or resources typically results in teams being unable to organise these events on a regular basis.

Our new CTF Builder will help us discover how TryHackMe can become an incredibly easy tool and resource to facilitate more collaborative and competitive gamified training for you and your team!

How to create your own CTF event!

At the click of a button, you can create your own CTF event, choosing from four CTF topics.

You can then easily share your CTF link with your colleagues to start your CTF journey together!

The CTF Builder feature is exclusively available for TryHackMe Business and Education clients.

Want to expand your licences to invite more users to your personal CTF event? Reach out to your dedicated Customer Success Manager before 31st October with the quote “CTFBuilderPromo”, and we’ll even give you free swag! 😎

Not an existing TryHackMe customer? You’ll need a TryHackMe Business subscription to get started with our CTF Builder. Our business subscription package enables you to customise training to reflect your business branding and needs. Launch a free trial of the management dashboard to discover why hundreds of businesses around the globe use TryHackMe to empower and upskill their employees!


Frequently asked questions

Is there any set-up required?

No! Everything you need from VMs to downloadable content is automatically added to the CTF. You can use the AttackBox or connect via VPN as you would any other room on THM. It’s as simple as that!

When will additional features / topics will be released?

Based on product usage and user feedback, we will look to extend functionality in Q1 of 2024.


How do I edit the CTF once it's been generated?

Head to your 'Manage Rooms' page to find it. Remember to turn on developer options to get access to the 'Manage Rooms' page!
