We Built a Gamified Study Tool for Brains That Refuse to Read Another Textbook
We’re a neurodivergent team, and SecuSpark started with our founder Pawel’s ADHD. Traditional studying never worked for him. He could build a game in a weekend but couldn’t focus on a chapter for twenty minutes. So instead of fighting his brain, he built an ADHD-friendly study tool that works with it. SecuSpark is gamified certification training designed for how your brain actually learns. Think RPG exam prep where every CompTIA practice question is a boss fight.
Every Game Mechanic Is a Learning Technique in Disguise
Every mechanic maps directly to a proven study technique. The RPG is the learning system itself.
Immediate Dopamine Reward
XP & Leveling
Every correct answer earns XP — your brain gets the hit it needs instantly, not at the end of a semester. No delayed gratification your ADHD brain can't process.
Stakes-Based Recall
Boss Battles
When an enemy is attacking, remembering port numbers suddenly feels urgent. Each of our 210 campaign enemies is a real cybersecurity concept — you're fighting threats, not grinding questions.
Visible Progress
Character Evolution
Watch your character evolve through 30 stages — progress you can literally see, from a tiny translucent slime to an elemental powerhouse.
Social Accountability
PvP Arena
Real-time ELO battles against real players. Someone out there is grinding to take your rank — competition turns passive study into active obsession.

The Team Behind SecuSpark
Pawel Sloboda
Founder & BuilderBorn in Poland, raised in Maryland. I’ve been building stuff for the internet since I was 12 — started with Flash games, got hooked, and never really stopped. Got my CS degree from Bowie State, did ML engineering at Adobe, built tools for the DoD, and worked at several startups building everything from healthcare platforms to AI lead-gen systems.
I’ve shipped 24 projects across healthcare, defense, finance, education, and cybersecurity. Most of them solo. SecuSpark is the one I’m most proud of because it solves a problem I actually have — my brain doesn’t do textbooks, so I built something that works the way my brain does.
The First Games I Ever Made
Before SecuSpark, before Kongregate — these are some of the very first games I built as a kid on Scratch, misspelled menus and all. I couldn’t stop making things people could click “Start” on.
Escape to IcyLand 3
Scratch · 343 playsA frostbitten platformer with a shop, custom skins, and lava trampolines.
Then I Shipped to a Real Audience
By my teens I was building HTML5 games in Stencyl and publishing them on Kongregate — an RPG, a couple of idle games, and a run-and-gun — racking up 50,000+ plays combined. Same instinct that drives SecuSpark: make something people can’t put down.
