*** 8/10 Everything Board Games*** “Awesome experience” A text message leads you to a ticking bomb. Tic-toc! Tic-toc! Every second counts. Which wire to cut – the blue or the red one? Tic-toc! Tic-toc! How to set the control knobs? Tic-toc! Tic-toc! Only two minutes left… Your flashlight battery runs out. The adrenaline kicks in. Will you keep a cool head and manage to defuse the bomb? FEATURES - Work together with your Expert Team and see how many people you can save - Describe what you see using just words so that others understand - Let your Expert Team talk you through the bomb defusal - Put your communication skills to the test - Check leaderboards and see how teams from around the world are doing WARNING: Time pressure and adrenaline rush may lead to shouting, swearing, and misunderstandings, which can cause temporary resentment between friends or silent treatment from a spouse… GAME RULES One of the players takes on the role of the Unlikely Hero, who finds a bomb and tries to defuse it. The hero is the only player who uses iPad or iPhone. The other players become the Expert Team and they have access to the bomb defusal manual. They cannot see what the Hero sees on the screen, and the Hero cannot see the content of the manual. Players can only use verbal communication, just as if the Expert Team and the Unlikely Hero were talking through a radio. PLEASE NOTE: * IMPORTANT - Defusing bombs on iPhones and iPads requires slightly different defusal approaches - make sure you download a version of the "Manual" compatible with your device! * Some game items and features are available in the in-app purchase.

Challenging and addictive

I enjoy this game very much! I don’t have any complaints but i do have warnings: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU GET ANXIETY AND STRESS FAST!!This game is almost a thriller for the fact you are on a time limit and have to communicate with your piers. This game is beneficial for improving communication skills. I played this with my brother and there was a lot of screaming for the fact we both kept feeling the pressure of defusing this bomb. The backstory of the origin of this bomb is entertaining. Highly recommend this game if you want to challenge your trust with your friends/family and how much you rely on each other!! Definitely a 5-star-rated game from me!! 😄😄

What a gem

I can play with my friends across the seas spontaneously and actually have a blast (pun intended). This is a refreshing take on co-op where you or your friends diffuse puzzle bits of the explosive under a time constraint. I very much found myself laughing and feeling the level of difficulty perfectly matches what my crew needs. And does it actually work? Give it at least a few tries and everyone take a turn :) Watch the verbal chaos unfurl!

Them Bombs Demo

This game is so much fun, even though I’ve only played the demo! My only qualm with it is how it won’t let me press the buttons for the module with the colorful buttons with a scientist’s name on the door. The buttons don’t stay lit when I press them, and I have to hold them all down at the same time for it to count. Then, if I take my fingers off the buttons, it closes the door again. I have to hold the colorful buttons while pressing the combination buttons and while changing the numbers to the scientist’s death year.

I love the idea and concept of the game but there are some problems within either the game itself or the instructions. On multiple occasions the “Pizza” module has failed to disarm. I have tried absolutely everything to the point of playing with the instructions in hand. Nothing seems to disarm it. If I play random and get that module in my game. I basically have lost before even starting. I love the idea of the game but it just falls short on the small things. Other then that it’s probably one of my favorite things to play.

Hi! Thank you for playing the game and for your review! Please make sure you are using the right manual for the device you're using - there is a difference in the way you disarm bombs depending on whether you're using an iPad or a iPhone. It would be great if you could contact us directly with some details about your device and perhaps screenshots: contact@yellow-dot.eu.
