DON’T PANIC: FIVE SECONDS is a rapid-fire reaction game where every challenge gives you only a few seconds to figure out what to do.

One moment you're trying not to press a suspicious red button. The next you're catching a falling phone, slapping a fly, cutting the right wire, saving your toast, or stopping a meter at exactly 100%.

The rules are simple:

Read fast.

React faster.

And whatever happens...

DON’T PANIC.

Each run contains 8 randomly selected microgames designed to test your reactions, timing, observation and ability to make very questionable decisions under pressure.

Can you survive all 8?
