摘要

In an era marked by rapidly evolving cyber threats and increasing disaster risks, geogames offer innovative approaches to education and training. Motivated by the need to understand the current landscape, this paper systematically maps the landscape of 92 geogames at the intersection of cybersecurity and disaster management. This study examines the availability of these games, their application areas, genres, target audiences, and other design characteristics, such as medium and publisher type. By categorizing games based on these criteria, we offer a comprehensive overview of what is currently available in this domain. Notably, this paper provides a structured resource that highlights trends and gaps in the market, thereby serving as a valuable reference for researchers and developers seeking to understand and enhance the role of geogames in cybersecurity and disaster management training.
