About

PairPanic

Features
Read full description

Two cards. One shared symbol. Spot it before the clock runs out. PairPanic is a fast reflex game built on a simple rule: any two cards share exactly one symbol — never zero, never two. Your eyes know it's there. Your job is to find it first. Play alone to sharpen your speed, take on the daily challenge, or turn the table into a party with friends. SOLO RUNS One timer, one goal: keep going. Faster taps win back more time; every miss eats into it. Every 10 rounds a new twist kicks in — spinning symbols, floating symbols, waves, random colors — until the cards are barely holding still. How far can you push your streak? BONUS ROUNDS Now and then, a round hides two matches instead of one. Find both fast for extra time and a bigger streak. FACE OFF ON ONE SCREEN Two players, one iPhone or iPad. Each player gets their own card facing their side of the screen. First correct tap takes the round — and a wrong tap locks you out for a moment. NEARBY MULTIPLAYER Host a game and let friends nearby join from their own iPhone or iPad. Pick how many wins it takes, choose Easy, Normal or Hard (Extreme on iPad), switch between seven symbol packs and add visual effects to raise the stakes. Nearby play uses Game Center, so every player signs in there first. CROWN THE WINNER When the game ends, see points, average reaction time and best reaction time for every player on one leaderboard. DAILY CHALLENGE A new challenge every day, built from the same deck for every player. Keep your daily streak burning, track it on a calendar, and share your best score. WATCH YOURSELF GET FASTER Your profile charts your reaction times over time and keeps your personal records, top symbols and achievements. Optional Game Center leaderboards let you compare scores. APPLE WATCH Quick solo runs right on your wrist, whenever you have a minute. WIDGETS Keep today's challenge and your streak on your Home Screen. A short tutorial on first launch teaches the rule in seconds. Terms of Use: https://danskrumskrot.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://danskrumskrot.com/privacy/
