Panic Pit
A free-to-play browser party game for up to 16 friends — quick-fire minigames, one room code, no download.
If you love Mario Party, you'll love Panic Pit. One person makes a room, everyone joins from
their own laptop or phone with the room code, and every round is a different minigame, ranked,
until someone takes the match. Bots fill in when you're short.
Shove rivals off a disc, race a rolling boulder, survive falling floors, and test your memory
and rhythm. See every game and how to play it, find
the ones most like the party games you already love, or read
the FAQ. Mario Party is a trademark of Nintendo; Panic Pit is independent
and not affiliated with it.
This page needs JavaScript to play, and to show the full Privacy Policy and Terms of
Service at panicpit.com/privacy and
panicpit.com/terms. Below is a summary of both, last updated
4 October 2026. Where the summary and the full text differ, the full text governs.
Privacy — what we collect
Playing requires no account. You give a nickname; the room holds it, your colour, cosmetics,
rejoin token and score only while the room is running.
Rooms delete themselves thirty minutes after the last player leaves. What we
keep, for 30 days, is a short record of each visit: your nickname, your account if signed in,
the room, when, your device type, connection speed, rough location (never your IP address),
where your browser first came from (a link's tag or the referring site's name, e.g. "tiktok") and
a code made from your browser's rejoin token, so we can see how many players come back. No
leaderboards.
Signing in is optional and exists so a game pack you paid for stays yours on another device.
Sign in with Discord and we receive your user ID, username and avatar; with Google, your
account ID, email and name. We store that and which packs it owns — nothing else. Join the
early-access list and we also keep your account's verified email (Discord is asked for it only
then), only to send you Panic Pit news; email support@panicpit.com to be taken off. If you
never sign in, nothing about you persists
on our servers beyond those 30-day visit records.
Our host, Cloudflare, processes the usual connection data including your IP address, to route
traffic and block abuse, and reports an approximate region so a room starts on a nearby
server. We do not store your IP address ourselves.
Privacy — ads, analytics and payments
On the website we show ads supplied by Google: an optional ad a host can watch to unlock a
game, and an occasional break between rounds. Google and its partners use cookies to serve,
cap and in some cases personalise those ads. There are no ads inside the Discord
Activity, and none in a room whose host owns a game pack. In the EEA, the UK and
Switzerland we ask your consent before any advertising cookie is set. You can opt out of
personalised advertising at
adssettings.google.com.
Payments are handled by Stripe, which processes your card details directly under its own
privacy policy — we never see them. We record a small number of aggregate events (how long a
break lasted, whether an ad appeared, how many rounds a group played, and which minigames a
group played, skipped or turned off) and no profiles.
To avoid interrupting games during updates, we keep temporary room status: a hashed room
identifier, game and round, connected-player count, web or Discord surface, and update times.
This pseudonymous record has no player names or account identifiers. It is removed when an
empty room is cleaned up; crash leftovers are removed during a later guarded deployment.
After a match we may ask whether you enjoyed it. Only if you answer, we keep your answer (a
rating, a favourite game and any note) with your nickname, your account if you are signed in,
the room code, whether you played on a phone or in Discord, and your approximate location
(country and city, never your IP address), so we can read it in context.
Privacy — age, and your choices
Panic Pit is not for children under 13, or older where local law sets a higher minimum for
online services. Write to
support@panicpit.com to ask what we hold about you,
to delete your account, or to report that a child has given us information.
Terms of Service
Panic Pit is licensed to you to play, not sold. Play fairly and lawfully: no harassment, no
hate, no cheating, and nothing in a nickname you would not put on a screen in front of
strangers. Rooms are temporary by design and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.
Game packs are a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and one host's pack covers everyone in
their room. If a purchase fails, never arrives, or a pack does not work, write to
support@panicpit.com and we will fix it or refund
it. This sits alongside your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, which nothing here
limits. Our liability is otherwise limited to the extent the law allows. These terms are
governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
