It wasn't played outside of IT, but it was to show the IT group why locking your computer was important. I didn't play this game, and was never a unwilling participant, but I wanted to say that the game ended when somebody decided to send one of these emails from the Director of IT Security's workstation. You never know what you're going to get with 30 seconds, and a unlocked workstation. If USB storage is allowed, you could do alot of damage.
