Does your family know how to act in extreme situations?
FIASCO is not just another board game. It is an educational adventure that teaches real-life survival skills in a fun and non-threatening way. Instead of fear or moralizing, FIASCO invites the whole family on a creative journey toward Calm Island, where every decision becomes a new story.

How is the game played?
Each player chooses a unique character (from 8 available – from a panda to an astronaut) and tries to reach Calm Island. Along the way, players face 40 extreme situations across four different environments:

City – emergency sirens, accidents, recognizing dangers
Home – fire prevention, electrical safety, first aid
War – evacuation, shelters, psychological resilience
Nature – navigation, shelter, food and water search

When faced with a situation, players must come up with a creative solution to survive – but here lies the double challenge. Not only must you invent a solution, you must also convince the other players and the narrator that your idea is the best. Fourteen condition cards further complicate each scenario, creating nearly endless combinations.

Why does FIASCO stand out?
Learning without fear – instead of traditional safety lessons, FIASCO develops independent thinking through creativity and humor

Every game is a new story – 40 situations × 8 characters × 14 conditions create almost infinite combinations

Real-life skills – knowledge gained in the game can save lives in real situations

Creativity and critical thinking – similar to Dixit or Codenames, but with practical value

Social mission – by choosing FIASCO, you support young Lithuanian entrepreneurs educating society about safety

Who is FIASCO for?
Families – creates a safe space to discuss difficult topics such as crisis behavior, decision-making in emergencies, and cooperation under pressure

Schools and educational institutions – an excellent interactive learning tool that develops 21st-century skills and complements safety education

Gifts – an original, meaningful product suitable for all ages
