How to play
- A random player starts with the bomb.
- Only the bomb holder sees a "Tap!" button, and it jumps to a new spot after every tap.
- Three taps pass the bomb to another random player.
- It blows at a random moment between 12 and 26 seconds. Whoever is holding it then loses.
Great for
- Getting a party loud
- Office parties and team outings
Tips
- Your phone vibrates when the bomb comes to you. Keep your eyes on the screen.
- The ticking is just for drama; it has nothing to do with when it blows.
Points and the unluckiest player
- The last-place player in each game gets 3 unlucky points. With 4 or more players, second-to-last gets 2 and third-to-last gets 1.
- The final game counts double, so a comeback is always possible.
- After the last game, whoever has the most points is crowned "Today’s unluckiest". Ties are settled with a sudden-death Card Flip.
- The host can tap "One more round" to start again with the same group right away.
