I’ve played this game with a group of six students. The bomb defusal manual… what the students have to use to help the bomb defuser. For this reason, it’s best played on a laptop that you can orient easily so only one person can see it. One person has to sit at the computer and try and defuse the bomb, asking questions and listening to instructions from the other players. To play the game with students (or with friends), you need one computer with the game installed, and one copy of the bomb defusal manual (a free pdf download from their site). But there’s a catch: the experts can’t see the bomb, so everyone will need to talk it out – fast! 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. Here is the description of the game, from Steel Crate Games, the company behind it: One player is trapped in a virtual room with a ticking time bomb they must defuse. You need to defuse this bomb in less than five minutes or… boom. “You have to defuse a bomb, together!” was all I could remember before I was clicking away and searching it out. I was first pointed to this amazing cooperative and communicative video game by a colleague of mine on Facebook who was raving about playing it with some friends at a party.
