67: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

from The Short Game · host The Short Game

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes has more in common with party games played with boards or cards than with most video games. You play it in person with friends, one of whom is the bomb-defuser, looking at a simulated bomb on their laptop (or VR headset) with the others trying to talk them through the complex defusing process with the help of a hilariously complex bomb defusal manual. It’s a game designed to facilitate fun communication, minor panics, and hilarious mistakes. Each round/bomb takes about 5 minutes to play/defuse. The game is available on Steam for Windows PC, as well as for Samsung Gear VR in the Oculus Store.
