Incredible Crisis, known in Japan as Tondemo Crisis! (とんでもクライシス!?, lit. "Huge Crisis!"), is a PlayStation video game developed by Polygon Magic. The game was first published in Japan by Tokuma Shoten on June 24, 1999. Translated versions were released by Titus Interactive in North America and Europe throughout November 2000.
Incredible Crisis follows the four members of a working-class Japanese family on their bizarre adventures home from their daily routines to get birthday presents for the family's grandmother. The game consists of several action-oriented minigames strung together and book-ended with pre-rendered cutscenes. The game was designed and scripted by Kenichi Nishi and features music from the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

There are a total of 24 minigames that comprise the larger game as a whole, but some of them repeat. Despite using only one controller, the game still falls under the party genre, because the simplistic, quick hitting mini-games allow for the controller to be passed from player to player. The minigames, which are the main gameplay elements that the player controls, are played using directional buttons to block debris while the action buttons are used to manipulate the puzzle. Some puzzles, however, focus on thinking in a time limit rather than dodging-and-completing; such as Etsuko's task to replace an item's exact weight with a combination of her own items. The minigames, after being played in the main story mode of the game, can later be replayed at any time from the main menu.
