Could you build this?

Partial The landing page, user accounts, and course progress tracking are vibe-codeable. Hands-on gamified security labs need isolated, sandboxed lab environments per learner and expert-curated, accurate security content, which are harder to build.

What it would actually take: Build the platform with a standard web stack and per-user progress tracking, then run labs in isolated containers or VMs (e.g. Docker or Kubernetes with network isolation and automatic teardown). The hard parts are secure sandboxing that cannot be escaped, scaling lab infrastructure, and writing technically accurate challenges. That requires security practitioners to design the content and infrastructure engineers to run it safely.
