What it does. Inbox Detective is a full simulated email inbox, points, ranks, streaks, and consequences included, mixing realistic phishing and scam emails in with legitimate ones. Students triage the inbox the way they would a real one, and get immediate feedback on every call.

Why it looks like a real inbox. Phishing works because it blends in with the dozens of ordinary emails someone gets every day. A worksheet with five obviously-suspicious emails doesn't build that skill. A full inbox where most messages are mundane and a few are traps does.

It's a safe simulation. Every email, sender, and link in this inbox is fictional and self-contained. Nothing is a real address, no links go anywhere outside the tool, and no data is collected. It's a sandbox for getting fooled and learning why, before a real scam email shows up.
