Our take on Don't Panic! It is Just Turbulence
The defining mechanic is that spoken coordination functions as part of the controls: the Pilot acts on instructions while the Air Traffic Controller deciphers and relays what to do.
What is Don't Panic! It is Just Turbulence?
Coordinate as two players in a failing aircraft, with one person handling the cockpit and the other serving as Air Traffic Controller.
The Pilot faces disordered instruments and broken systems, while the Controller interprets coded directions and gives guidance through each emergency. Spoken coordination is central: players must exchange precise instructions while alarms sound, gauges move, and the aircraft loses control. Flights use different aircraft layouts, puzzle groups, difficulty progressions, system modules, and failure events. Some challenges focus on timing, while others require players to remain coordinated amid escalating cockpit problems. A missed instruction can compound the failures and end the flight. The game focuses on cooperative puzzle solving, improvised communication, and attempts to recover before the aircraft crashes.
