Agent ODIN is a gamified Capture-the-Flag (CTF) platform that trains the security research community in real world AI prompt injection and jailbreaking techniques by placing players in interactive missions where they must socially engineer AI characters to extract protected information, mirroring how modern GenAI systems fail under adversarial pressure.

Designed as an arcade style experience with progressive difficulty and clear win conditions, the game emphasizes learning by doing encouraging players to probe guardrails, escalate attacks through creative prompting, and achieve measurable success through genuine model failures rather than scripted outcomes. Built by the ODIN team at Mozilla during a rapid vibe-code-a-thon, Agent ODIN demonstrates how hands-on, game-based training can make AI security research more accessible, practical, and engaging for researchers, red teamers, and defenders.
