FAQ

Yes! Although Panic Mode is a cooperative card game that plays well in person, there are several ways to capture the benefits remotely: 1. Have one person act as the reader. Remove the time limit and read through 88 cards to approximate the 25 minute time limit. 2. Another option is to assign the person with the game to move the tracking cards, add one minute per card for reading, and they can hold the card up to the camera so players can take turns reading. 3. Simply choose random cards and discuss them. Nearly every card has a lesson in IT Disaster Recover and a pop culture reference. Can you find both of them? 4. Send the 20 role-specific cards to their roles on your team. Have them write their own cards or take turns reading from these cards. 5. Have everyone on your team open the free PDF from the site and use a random number generator to determine what cards to read. Have a column of random numbers 4 through 31 to identify the page, and a column 1 through 9 to identify the card on the page.
