RUN THE IT TEAM.TOGETHER. ANYWHERE.
A digital cooperative IT support game for local and remote teams. Investigate incidents, set priorities, coordinate specialists and keep a modern organisation running.
Same room or different time zones. One shared queue. Plenty of bad timing.
ONE SESSION. EVERYONE CONNECTED.
Play side by side or run the whole shift remotely.
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.
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.
Coordinate the response
Share evidence, call a specialist and decide together what deserves attention first.
Live with the consequences
SLA timers run, callers ring back, root causes produce new tickets and management steps in when it goes wrong.
CURRENT TEAM
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.
A SMALL TASTE OF THE PRESSURE
Not every ticket is the real problem.
CURRENT ASSESSMENT
The queue is waiting for your decision.
The same situation can be approached in different ways. The consequences shape what happens next.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
One shared screen. A Desk in every pocket.



BUILT TO SCALE WITH YOUR TEAM
Start simple. Add complexity when you're ready.
Beginner friendly
Beginner difficulty with tips, a "Why this action?" button for every check and fix, and calm training tickets without time pressure.
Advanced play
Linked tickets with one root cause, log puzzles, change steps, callers who ring back and an SLA clock that keeps running.
One core. Multiple environments.
The Core set plus expansions: SECURITY and DEVICES are playable now. New modules expand the same game without new rules to learn.
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.
