Step into deep space in Mission: Critical, where your team becomes crew members on a satellite struck by meteorites. With failing systems, limited resources and mounting pressure, teams must respond fast to a series of escalating failures, each one threatening the survival of the mission.

The team that adapts, collaborates and solves problems under pressure will earn promotion to Star Command.

Success will require rapid problem solving, team communication and the ability to lead through chaos. Teams will navigate time critical decisions, shifting roles and complex interdependencies as they race to bring their systems back online.
