Quickstart
How to actually play this with friends — written by Claude.## Set it up - Install via Steam; one player needs the game running with headphones or a shared screen, everyone else just needs the free bomb-defusal manual (PDF or web version) - Sit the "defuser" where they can't see anyone's phone or screen — the entire game breaks if the manual-readers can just look at the bomb - No settings to configure; difficulty comes purely from module count and time limit, both picked before each round
## Your first session - Run the tutorial bomb first so the defuser learns to describe modules clearly ("the wire module, six wires, top one is white") before time pressure hits - Rotate who defuses every round — reading modules out loud under a ticking clock is the whole appeal, and everyone should get a turn - Manual-readers: skim the whole page for the module first, don't just read line one and guess
## Group size advice - Works with as few as 2 (one defuser, one manual) but gets funnier as more people crowd around shouting conflicting instructions - Shines at 4-6, where manual duties split by module type and the group starts talking over each other - Perfect fit for a mixed-experience group — no game skill required, just clear communication under pressure
