✈️ Talk Fast Land Safe

A routine flight turns into a fight for survival when critical systems begin to fail mid-air. Flashing warnings, cryptic puzzles, and an unforgiving countdown leave you with only one way out: communication.

Mayday Protocol is an asymmetric co-op puzzle game where communication is everything. One player takes the role of the Pilot, facing a cockpit full of puzzles with no idea how to solve them. The other players become Co-Pilots, holding a manual that contains all the answers but they can’t see the cockpit.

The Pilot describes what they see. The Co-Pilots make sense of it. Solve the puzzles before time runs out and the plane survives. Fail… and the outcome is inevitable.

Only the Pilot needs to own the game; Co-Pilots can join using the free manual.

🧠 How It Works

The Pilot sits in a cockpit filled with real flight instruments: gauges, warning lights, and screens displaying puzzles that must be solved. These screens are packed with locked systems, input-hungry controls, and visual clues that demand careful interpretation. Each one corresponds to a solution found in the Co-Pilots’ manual.

The Co-Pilots read the rules and solutions, but must guide the Pilot without ever seeing what’s on screen.

Your only tool is your voice. Describe, interpret, instruct, and execute. Under pressure, against the clock.

⏱️ The Challenge

Every level presents a sequence of puzzles that must be solved before time runs out. Make too many mistakes? The plane crashes. Run out of time? The plane crashes. Stop communicating? You already know what happens.

Real flight instruments, constant tension, and the looming threat of disaster make every second count. From color sequences and frequency tuning to grids and shape-based systems, each level demands flawless teamwork. Time is your enemy. Stay calm, stay focused, and don’t lose the signal.
