About the game
What you do in a play session
The idea is simple, yet addictive: each player has a stand with colored and numbered wires, but only you know what yours are. The challenge is to figure out your partners' wires through clues and deductions. The goal is to cut all wires numbered 1 to 12 without detonating the bomb. If you guess the correct wire, it's cut. If you're wrong, the detonator advances a dangerous step. And the worst part: if a red wire is cut, BOOM! Game over instantly.
Bomb Busters comes with 66 different missions, each with its own challenges and difficulty levels, ensuring the fun never ends. You can play them in order, choose the mission you like best, or even try again the one that blew up in your face. The bombs become increasingly complex and dangerous, testing your team's memory, deduction, and ability to work under pressure. It's a real-time game that will have you biting your nails!
