This is from a text about nadaist festivals held in cali Colombia in the 60s:
…En las dos primeras se nota el protagonismo de la literatura, el teatro y las artes plásticas; en la tercera, la literatura y la música a gogó y la canción protesta; y en las dos últimas, el evento entra en agonía. Sus actividades abarcaban: recitales poéticos, obras de teatro, exposiciones de pintura y dibujo, ciclos de conferencias, mesas redondas, música electrónica, proyección de películas, conciertos de rock, actos y fiestas pánicas.
It doesn't refer to the online "panic party" game, it would seem.
Thanks

panic parties
It seems to refer to a specific movement in the 60s, so this is another option.
Panic Movement - Wikipedia

Panic Movement (Mouvement panique) was a collective formed by Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor in Paris in 1962. Inspired by and named after the god Pan, and influenced by Luis Buñuel and ..

En alguna ocasión Jodorowsky se privó en sus experimentos del público mismo, realizando fiestas Pánicas sólo con actores que dando vida a personajes interactuaban en absoluta libertad creativa y reactiva ante los estímulos

The Panic parties were like experimental labs from which Jodorowsky could casually observe the reactions of the spectators. The parties were the springboard to begin the ephemerals as the chance actions at the parties validated Jodorowsky’s desire to create intentionally provocative
environments and situations. Students at the time have described their collective desire to change the school permitted things that others would not, including their infamous costume parties (the last of which transpired in 1966) inspired by Jodorowsky’s early “panic parties”

panic (theatrical) events / panic performances
Diría que se alude al movimiento pánico (Pánico; Grupo Pánico) de Arrabal, Jodorowsky (¿y Roland Topor?) y a sus performances teatrales.
Ver por ejemplo,
Un aspecto nuevo de su dramaturgia es lo que se conoce como el teatro pánico, donde se mezclan los elementos más diversos, desde el absurdo a la crueldad o al surrealismo, en unas denominadas fiestas pánicas, espectáculos francamente provocadores que han traído, en ocasiones consequencias desagradables; tal es el caso de lo ocurrido con dos obras estrenadas en París: "El arquitecto y el emperador de Asiria" y "El jardín de las delicias". Otras obras son: "El laberinto" (1961), "Teatro de guerrilla" (1969). Sus obras siempre en contra del régimen franquista, estuvieron prohibidas en España hasta la llegada de la Democrácia.

As far as I was concerned, and a few years later, I would deny all connections with Panic Theatre (which englobed grosso-modo the existential and anarchistic energy that went from Becket and Ionesco to Arrabal).

The Panic Movement performed theatrical events designed to be shocking, as a response to surrealism becoming petite bourgeoisie and to release destructive energies in search of peace and beauty. One four-hour performance known as Melodrama Sacramentral was staged in May 1965 at the Paris Festival of Free Expression. The “happening” starred Jodorowsky dressed in motorcyclist leather and featured him (...)
