Panic in the Woods

Panic in the Woods is a horror survival and extraction game where you play as Boy Scouts lost in a creepy forest. You can play solo or team up with up to four players, using walkie-talkies to coordinate as you search for a way to banish the monster hunting you.

Search the woods

Explore the forest to find keys and the gates they unlock. The gates lead to hellish realms, where you must extract skulls to perform a demonic ritual. Each game scatters key objects and tools in a new layout, so their locations change between playthroughs.

Evade the monster

The monster is sensitive to noise, so you need to hide and stay quiet or distract it. If it catches you, the game is over. A captured teammate is sent to a cage, and the others must free them. You can play with friends or strangers, work together or sabotage one another, and join or leave sessions as they progress.

Tools and communication

You can use radars to locate keys and gates, traps and power-ups to evade the monster, and noise-making items to attract it. These supplies are scarce, so you need to use them carefully. Radio-style voice chat lets you guide teammates to important places, coordinate actions and help those in need; you can also use a teammate as bait while the rest of the team explores.

One chance to survive

Each run is a high-stakes challenge: you have one chance to make it through in a single sitting. If you get caught, the run ends.
