TowerPanic is a browser-based party game for families where players pick one of four towers and try to avoid being on the one that collapses. It uses a small FastAPI realtime engine and focuses on easy onboarding via QR codes and link sharing, with no accounts required for players. The project is interesting as a lightweight example of realtime multiplayer with a strong emphasis on safety and simplicity for kids.
