About This Game

Principal Panic is a humor-filled, chaotic multiplayer social party game set in a school. At the start of each round, one player transforms into the vigilant principal; the others play mischievous students aiming to complete tasks and sow chaos. The principal, who must distinguish real students from disguised bots in an environment where everyone looks identical, tries to catch them—while students break school rules by ringing the bell, triggering the fire alarm, smashing laboratory glass, and more.

Key Features

• Distinct Role Dynamics

  • Each round, a randomly selected principal must identify and discipline real students amid bots.

  • Sanity meter management: catching real students increases sanity, catching bots rapidly decreases it.

• Mischief Tasks & Energy Management

  • “Mischief Energy” builds through dancing, farting, and other humorous actions. When depleted, forced dance mode activates.

  • Tasks include ringing the fire alarm, pressing the bell, breaking sinks, leaving faucets running, burning notebooks, and more.

• Detailed School Map

  • Explore varied locations: classrooms, laboratory, gymnasium, corridors, and principal’s office.

  • While the principal recovers sanity in the office, students can unleash total havoc across the school.

• Intelligent NPC Bots

  • Bots disguised as students distract the principal and complicate strategies.

  • Catching bots pushes the sanity meter toward critical levels.

• Social Signaling System

  • Caught students use hand signals to indicate if they’re aiding the principal or misleading peers.

  • Encourages bluffing and deepens team interactions.

Principal Panic combines teamwork, strategy, and over-the-top humor to deliver a unique school chaos experience on Steam.
