Panic Zones is a social entertainment company from the Middle East, creating fast, high-intensity games that turn any table into a stage.

We are four Lebanese founders based in Dubai. In December 2025, we launched our first title — Panic Zones: Arctic Edition — a 15-minute card game of shifting alliances and sudden betrayal for 3 to 6 players. We ran a Panic Games competition to launch: 170 people, five competing teams, two months of strategy, chaos, and betrayal. The game is now available in retail stores, cafés, and online across Lebanon and the UAE — including Virgin Megastore, King Jouet, Nok Nok, and growing distribution channels.

But Panic Zones was never just about a card game. Every title we build is anchored in a different zone of a growing fictional universe — a map of settings, each with its own game, its own community, and its own chapter of the lore. Arctic Edition is the first zone. More are coming.

The Arab world has produced storytellers, artists, and cultural exports for centuries. What it hasn’t yet exported at global scale is a modern social gaming and entertainment IP — one that originates here and travels the world on its own terms. That is the gap we are building toward.

The Panic Squad — our year-round community — currently has members in Beirut, Dubai, and Paris, with chapters forming in Montreal and London. We run Panic Games and a range of competitive tournaments throughout the year, open to both community members and broader audiences.
