ONE SESSION. EVERYONE CONNECTED.

Play side by side or run the whole shift remotely.

01

Start a shift

A host opens the Shift Dashboard on a shared screen and picks the theme, length and difficulty. Or start a Solo Shift on your own.

02

Join from your own device

Players scan the code with their phone or tablet and get their own Desk. No app to install, guests join for free.

03

Coordinate the response

Share evidence, call a specialist and decide together what deserves attention first.

04

Live with the consequences

SLA timers run, callers ring back, root causes produce new tickets and management steps in when it goes wrong.

BUILT FOR DISTRIBUTED TEAMS

Distance changes where you play, not who you play with.

Helpdesk Panic is designed around a shared online session, so a team can play in one room, across multiple offices or entirely remotely. That makes the same game useful for friends, IT departments, MSP teams, onboarding and team sessions.

02

A SMALL TASTE OF THE PRESSURE

Not every ticket is the real problem.

GAME FIRST. SERIOUS UNDERNEATH.

Built for play. Grounded in real IT operations.

Helpdesk Panic is a game first, with systems based on prioritisation, incident response, evidence, dependencies, root causes and team decisions.

That makes it just as relevant for a group of friends as for distributed IT teams looking for a shared scenario, onboarding activity or team exercise.

FOR PLAYERSCo-op pressure, progression and replayability from wherever you connect.
FOR TEAMS & ORGANISATIONSRealistic scenarios that create conversation around priorities, communication and response.
