The bomb can have up 11 modules (Section 1: Modules) to be disarmed and up to three extra difficult needy modules (Section 2: Needy Modules) to give constant attention to. The Experts have the bomb defusal manual and have to give instructions from descriptions of what is happening on the bomb to make the bomb safe, no one wants it to explode! They require help from the “Experts”, the other players, who are not in the same room (or at the very least not looking at the screen). But they do not have any idea on how to do so. ![]() The idea of the game is that one player is trapped on their own in a room with a ticking bomb that they only have minutes to defuse. It sounds simple doesn’t it? In reality it isn’t, it requires everybody to put their puzzle-solving and communication skills to the test under the added pressure of a time limit before the bomb explodes. The two teams must work together to successfully defuse the bomb. It is a game of two teams, and you don’t even have to be in the same room: the first team is just only player who is using the screen that displays the bomb, the second team can be made up of as many players as you want but they cannot see the screen and are in charge of the bomb defusing manual. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a game of communication, fast talking, fast thinking and teamwork. ![]() But your friends, the experts, have the manual to defuse it, but they can’t see the bomb, so you’re going to have to talk it out – fast! Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a local co-op game that requires two or more players, but it is a bit different for other local co-op games as only one player is permitted to see the screen! You find yourself alone in a room with a bomb, with minutes to defuse it. So what is this stressful game and what is so good about it that we quite happily spend our evenings playing it? The game is called Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, and it is available on various platforms for PC, mobile, VR and games consoles, we have been playing it on the Xbox One and our £12.50 investment has been more than worth it. After all, how many people would want to use their free time of an evening defusing a bomb? Obviously, this isn’t a real bomb, but a game where a series of puzzles (modules) have to be solved on a suitcase bomb within a specified time to safely defuse it before it explodes. We love playing puzzle games on the Xbox and recently came across a brilliant game that requires teamwork, communication and co-operation, although how relaxing it can be is a topic for discussion. Most evenings, after dinner we like to sit down and watch some television, but recently we have been taking a leaf out of the kids book and playing on the Xbox. In our house, once the kids are finished with their homeschooling and finished arguing with each other over everything or nothing and gone up to bed it is the time for us adults to sit down and enjoy the evening. Work, shopping, housework, homeschooling, whatever you do with your day at some point you just need to sit down, relax and take some me time. ![]()
