Anxiety attacks are endured by millions around the world. Their suffering is unimaginable to peers and loved ones who struggle to know how to help them. Until now. “Angst, the Panic Attack” takes us through the agony of a panic attack and the relief of overcoming it in a raw yet elegant, interactive virtual reality experience. The app uses Core Motion for launching environmental triggers based on the user's head movement to create a narrative that is controlled by where the user is looking. Each user will have a uniquely powerful experience. This is not a movie, it is an interactive 360 experience that uses the cutting edge technology of stereoscopic video and spatial audio. It is an empathy tool to help people better understand the crippling panic attacks that are becoming an epidemic in today's youth, an educational tool for educators and parents wanting to help children who are suffering, and an important project supported by GoogleVR and the Child Mind Institute raising social awareness of panic attacks. --- Synopsis - It’s the day of the big science test. Your peers casually converse and prepare to do their best while you struggle to even pick up a pencil. As the test begins, your anxiety and fears kick in. The entire environment becomes an inescapable source of panic triggers – one after the next, sending you relentlessly spiraling into a claustrophobic tunnel of anxiety. Your only hope is the teacher. --- Please note: The Panic Attack is not for everyone. People who have experienced panic attacks or extreme anxiety might not want to participate. However there are many who don’t quite understand how challenging it can be when one is experiencing a panic attack.

You don't freeze because you have nothing to say. You freeze because the moment arrives faster than your brain can organize the answer. A date goes quiet. Someone asks the tough interview question. A coworker pushes back. A conversation turns to you. And suddenly the right words show up ten minutes too late. That is the skill QuickWit trains. QuickWit is a voice-first communication coach for the moments you cannot script. It helps you practice thinking faster, answering clearly, and staying calm when someone puts you on the spot. Not by reading tips. Not by memorizing perfect lines. By speaking out loud, getting specific feedback, and trying again. Because quick thinking is not a personality trait. It is a trainable skill. WHAT YOU PRACTICE Interview prep Answer real interview-style prompts without rambling, freezing, or sounding over-rehearsed. Learn to make your point faster and with more confidence. Dating and banter Practice being more present, playful, and clear in the moments where it is easy to second-guess yourself. Workplace communication Practice handling pushback out loud, so tense moments feel less surprising and your responses feel more composed. Networking and social skills Get better at introductions, small talk, follow-up questions, and keeping a conversation moving without overthinking every word. HOW QUICKWIT WORKS Tell QuickWit which moments feel hardest, and Tucker, your coach, builds a plan around them. Each step is short: a lesson you can watch or read, then practice built around a real pressure moment. You answer out loud. QuickWit listens. Then you get coaching on what worked, what got muddy, and how to make the next answer stronger. Quick Draw puts you on the spot with everyday situations, so you practice answering before you have time to overthink it. You train the exact part most people avoid: the live moment. The moment before you know the perfect sentence. The moment before you feel ready. The moment when someone is waiting for your answer. Over time, you start to notice the change outside the app. You answer faster. You ramble less. You recover more calmly. You stop replaying every conversation afterward. You start trusting yourself when it is your turn to speak. QUICKWIT IS FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT: “I know what I mean. I just cannot say it fast enough.” “I always think of the better answer later.” “I ramble when I feel pressure.” “I want to sound more confident.” “I want to get better at interviews, work, dating, or everyday conversation.” QuickWit helps you practice the skill that shows up everywhere: thinking clearly and speaking well when the moment is live. Download QuickWit and train that muscle before the next moment arrives. Pro access and game progression A trial or Pro subscription lets you continue training.
