The goal of this search is to investigate the impact of designing games to enhance cyber security concepts (email protection, data and information protection, mobile security, and encryption).

By using Game Maker as a tool to apply the game design without any programing skills required.

This experimental study was based on the quasi-empirical approach.

The measuring tools were knowledge test as a pretest and a posttest, and a product evaluation card.

The knowledge tests were utilized to assess the students' cyber security concepts, while a product evaluation card was used to evaluate their game designs.

A random sample of 17 middle-school students was selected and tested before the training program.

Then these students were divided into four groups to design electronic games for each cyber security concept.

The study found that there were significant differences at the level of indication (α-≤0.05) between the means of the students' grades in the pretest and posttest.

Additionally, all the groups achieved the standards of the product evaluation card for designing their Based on these findings, the researcher recommends that learners be encouraged to design and produce games that enhance cyber security concepts and share them through the social media.

Accredited training programs on designing and production games are recommended because of their effective impact.
