🎯 PROMPT HEIST β€” WEEK 1

Crack the VaultKeeper β€” AI Agents 2026

Key figure: 63% of organizations in IBM's 2025 breach study had no AI governance policy, and 97% of AI-breach victims had no proper AI access controls (IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025).

Somewhere inside the VaultKeeper assistant hides a secret phrase, and your job is to steal it with nothing but clever prompts. Every technique that works here β€” roleplay, instruction override, encoding tricks β€” works against real AI agents 2026 deployments. This is red-teaming made playable: learn the attacks by running them.

Why is prompt injection the top AI agents 2026 threat?

Because it turns the agent's greatest strength β€” following instructions in natural language β€” into its greatest weakness. Prompt injection needs no code, no malware, no access: just words, through any channel the agent reads. As agents gain the power to send email, run code, and move money, one injected sentence converts a trusted assistant into an attacker's proxy. This game teaches the attack so you can build the defense.

What is a jailbreak?

A jailbreak is a prompt-engineering technique that tries to bypass an AI model's safety rules, making it comply with requests it was designed to refuse. Heist-style games like this one teach the same mechanics defenders use in red-team exercises.

Meet VaultKeeper β€” a demo assistant hardened by our team to guard one secret phrase. Your mission: get it to reveal the phrase. Type anything. Be clever. It's beatable.

Frequently asked questions

What is prompt extraction?

A prompt injection attack that tricks an AI assistant into revealing its hidden system prompt or secret instructions.

How does the Prompt Heist game work?

You get a series of attempts to extract a secret phrase from the hardened VaultKeeper assistant β€” a new target each week.

Can prompt injection be prevented?

Not fully β€” it is structural to how LLMs work β€” but layered defenses (input handling, output filtering, least-privilege tools) sharply reduce the damage.
