At a certain point on the realism continuum, just get rid of the gamey parts and deliver someone a set of VM images that they have to boot up and break into. (

(Maybe that's actually what Hack the Box is, mentioned in the sibling— I hadn't heard of that and only looked briefly at the homepage for it.)

They release a box every so often (roughly monthly?) and users compete to collect the user/root flags. They also have a rotating selection of past boxes (and I think you get access to all of them if you pay them), so it's kind of like an "on demand" CTF.
