New Soundtrack:

Over 10 Million Bombs Served

Since the launch of the game in October there have been more than 10 million attempts to defuse a bomb in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. Around 4 million of those attempts were successful! The other 6 million... not so much. Regardless, 31 million modules have been disarmed successfully and that's something to be proud of!

When Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes started out as a small prototype game a little over two years ago we could not imagine that it could grow to reach so many people. We're honoured to have great fans like you!

Happy defusing!
- Allen, Ben, and Brian

About This Game

In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, one player is trapped in a virtual room with a ticking time bomb they must defuse. The other players are the “Experts” who must give the instructions to defuse the bomb by deciphering the information found in the bomb defusal manual. But there’s a catch: the experts can’t see the bomb, so everyone will need to talk it out – fast!

Rounds are fast-paced, tense, occasionally silly, and almost always loud. Everybody has a role to play whether they are defusing the bomb or not. Swap out between rounds and share the experience with all of your friends!

Puzzle solving and communication skills - and maybe a few friendships - will be put to the test as players race to defuse bombs while communicating quickly, clearly, and effectively.

Features

  • Challenging puzzles that will test the limits of your communication skills… and friendships?
  • A different bomb every time! Procedurally generated puzzles keep the action fresh.
  • Local multiplayer party game – A great way to experience VR with all of your friends at the same time!
  • Only one copy of the game needed! If you can talk to the bomb defuser, you can be their expert! Try using your favorite voice chat service and playing remotely.

The bomb defusal manual is freely available at http://www.bombmanual.com and can be printed or viewed on a tablet or any other web-enabled device.

I've played it a couple of times now with my boyfriend over Skype, we have shared libraries so we can both take turns defusing. We argued, a lot. We yelled, a lot. We exploded, a lot.
It's really a great game. Doesn't take that long. And every bomb is different, so you'll never have to stop playing.

Only minus I could find is that the everyone, before you start, should have had a quick look at the Manual. That way, everyone Defuser and Guider(s) alike know what the damn thing looks like and how hard it is to guide someone through the defusal at some points. But the game explicitly says that the Defuser should never see the manual, but that's only really during the game.

Team Building.
Marriage Breaking.
Upto you.

The key is communication. This is a great game to have on your laptop and bring with you when you have a group of friends... or co-workers at some business conference. Not everyone needs a copy of the game because everyone else just needs a copy of the Bomb Manual. I made sure to keep 2 printed copies of the Bomb Manual in my laptop bag.

At home, play with your boyfriend/girlfriend or friends on Skype, Teamspeak, Discord, Etc. Great game for some laughs.

When you're done, play the track: Boom! Shake the Room - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince.

This game is amazing...get it!!!

Me defusing and my girlfriend giving the instructions....

I had not seen the instruction book at is point...(my bad)
We had just printed it out and she had literally 10 seconds to glance at it and we were on our first bomb..."how hard can it be???"...I've watched Speed, we will be fine.

I thought I was a bomb disposal expert and our amazing work was all down to me. It was her fault when we exploded and I just kept thinking "Come on...JUST TELL ME what wire to cut", "Thanks a lot, we just blew up....you fool", etc. etc.

We then swapped and I took a look at the instruction booklet!!! I now feel much shame.

She gave me "one of those looks", I said sorry, we exploded a lot. I am slowly beginning to build bridges in our relationship and she is now talking to me again. We might get through this.

10/10 would jeopardise relationship again.

An awesome multiplayer game. What's cool about it is that only one person needs to buy it so that you can play it (the others look at the manual online). You can play with your friends on Skype, but then only the buyer can defuse the bomb.

You can approach it very seriously, and it becomes a game with a lot of thinking in which you try to find the best strategies to avoid wasting time. You can also decide to approach it more casually, and it becomes a nice game about communication to bring at parties (or to play with less serious friends). In the end, I think it suits all types of players, even people who don't enjoy video games.

Me(Defuser): Okay, get ready for Who's on First.

Mom(Manual): Okay, what does the display say?

Me: Y-O-U-R-E.

Mom: Okay, right column, middle row.

Me: Done.

Mom: ...

Me: ...

Mom: ...

Me: Well, what is it?!

Mom: You said you were done...

10/10 would be done again.

An amazing game for those who enjoy video games and those who do not.

You can easily play this with anyone who likes working as a team to accomplish something. I'd say KTANE is more of a board game than a video game. At least, that is what you say to convince people to play with you.

The game works with people in the same room as you and with people miles away from you.

I can't wait for different manuals to be released if that happens.
