As a business or edu user, you have access to TryHackMe’s CTF (Capture the Flag) builder. This feature allows you and your team to spin up CTF events in seconds from TryHackMe’s bank of over 200 challenges.

Creating a CTF event

To create an event, first head to the CTF builder page from the Compete menu. If you are an admin on a Management Dashboard, you will also find a link there too.

Important: Any users with a business or education license can create CTF events, you do not need to be an administrator!

From here, select the topics you would like to include in the event, the difficulty, and duration.

Based on your selections, a room called My CTF event gets generated and filled with CTF challenges for you and your team to complete. 

From here, you can click on the room card to view the room, copy and share the link with your team, or head to the manage rooms page link to edit the room details - you may wish to rename the room, add more details or instructions for your team.

Competing in your CTF event

Once you have created your event, you can simply share the room URL with the rest of your team when you are ready to compete. The room contains a scoreboard to track your team's progress and monitor the leaderboard. The Duration field determines how many challenges will be in your CTF event (8 challenges per day).

For added control, admins can assign CTF events to their team with a deadline date to ensure that progress is only counted for the day(s) that you run the CTF event.
