Light the fuse, describe the word, pass the phone. Don't be holding it when it goes BOOM! All 20 decks unlocked. No ads, no subscriptions, no Wi-Fi. Your game night, lit!
Tick... tick... tick... Describe the word, get your team to guess it, and pass the phone fast. Whoever's holding it when it goes BOOM loses the round!
Short Fuse is the pass-the-bomb word party game for family game night, holiday gatherings, sleepovers, road trips and the classroom. One phone, no cards, no setup, no internet. Just light the fuse and go.
HOW TO PLAY
1. Sit in a circle. For teams, sit Red, Blue, Red, Blue.
2. Light the fuse. The timer is hidden and random, so nobody knows when it will blow.
3. Describe the word on screen without saying it. When your team guesses it, tap "Got it! Pass" and hand the phone to the next player.
4. BOOM! The team that wasn't holding the bomb scores. First to 7 wins.
ALL 20 DECKS. ONE PURCHASE. NO CATCH.
- Every deck is unlocked from the start. Nothing to buy later.
- No ads. Ever.
- No subscriptions, no free trials, no surprise charges.
- Works fully offline. No accounts and no camera, microphone or contacts access.
FEEL THE PRESSURE
- A ticking clock that speeds up as the fuse burns down.
- The bomb starts to panic and shake, the phone buzzes, and the screen flashes red in the final seconds.
- Then a big BOOM with a flash, a screen shake and a rumble.
- Pick a Short, Normal or Long fuse. It's random every round!

SIMPLE BY DESIGN
