Them Bombs: co-op board game play with 2-4 friends
"Awesome experience"
A text message from Dr TiNT leads you to a ticking bomb. Tic-toc! Tic-toc! Every second counts. Which wire to cut – the blue or the red one? Tic-toc! Tic-toc! How to set the control knobs? Tic-toc! Tic-toc! Only two minutes left… Your flashlight battery runs out. The adrenaline kicks in. Will you keep a cool head and manage to defuse the bomb?
FEATURES
- Work together with your Expert Team and see how many people you can save
- Describe what you see using just words so that others understand
- Let your Expert Team talk you through the bomb defusal
- Put your communication skills to the test
WARNING: Time pressure and adrenaline rush may lead to shouting, swearing, and misunderstandings, which can cause temporary resentment between friends or silent treatment from a spouse…
GAME RULES
One of the players takes on the role of the Unlikely Hero, who finds a bomb and tries to defuse it. The hero is the only player who uses the device. The other players become the Expert Team and they have access to the bomb defusal manual. They cannot see what the Hero sees on the screen, and the Hero cannot see the content of the manual.
Players can only use verbal communication, just as if the Expert Team and the Unlikely Hero were talking through a radio.

Game is alright, a good free alternative to "Don't Stop Talking and Nobody Explodes." My only issue with the game is having to describe the symbols. Some are too similar to many other symbols making it complex to explain, and some symbols are a bit more intricate also making it tougher to explain (I'm looking at you music symbols). This module seems like it's really only there to waste time rather than make it complex.
I love the idea of this game! Though it can be stressful especially on smaller devices but it's actually quite fun and gets your brain juices flowing. I wish it had at least 2 free modules and maybe 4.99 instead of 7.99 but I understand they need to make revenue. Hope to see more of this kind of game in the future.
Challenging. a bit more difficult at the beginning but once you get the hang of things it gets easier. my friend made me kill 576 innocent people D:> but itmis very fun game to play with friends or family. best with 2 people personally, at least for beginner i think. you have to have good communication to do this, which makes it fun. one thing though, it woild help if you added instuctions to the in-game manual, it would make it easier. other that that, grrat game!
It was fun to play if you dont have the money or just dont want to buy keep talking and nobody explodes. This is a great alternative and I can tell dev team did a good job. Also I'd like to say the idea with the breathing and flash light realoading was a good thing to add. But one thing I wishing you devs could fix was the flashlight realoading time or have option to be able to hold the flashlight button.
This game is SO MUCH FUN! I played it with a friend during class; and it erased any doubt in my mind that this game is awesome. It gives you enough content at first to be able to play a nice-yet still intense round, but there's enough left out to make you want to buy the rest of the content. I promise, you will NOT regret buying the full version. I won't. The ads aren't even that obscuring. Overall, this is a fantastic game and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone!
Hi developer, greetings. We are enjoying this game and wish to purchase the full version. But we need some clarification regarding that, like, the validity of purchase, registered account for the full version, and usage of full version on a new mobile if I change my phone. Wishing to hear from you at the earliest.
It's a very nice game, but I think you can't play it too many times, since the manual doesn't change. Also, the beginner level becomes too easy pretty fast, I hope the purchased version really makes a difference.
It is very fun, yet it is really difficult. It took over 2 hours to complete it for the first time and I had fill in both parts for efficiency. Please make the game easier, because I find that the Morse Code always is the reason of loss.
I really love this game. Its makes you and your friends use your brains in a fun and addicting way. However I would really love to see a Bulgarian translation because not all of my friends know English. Also the modules get too repetitive so maybe add new ones? Just a suggestion I really love the game anyway!
This game was AWESOME!!! But I have a suggestion: the developers should make it a LITTLE more harder, I mean like, 8mins, 7mins, even 5mins could make it challenging. But I still like the game. P.S make the manual updated. The download I mean.
almost directly copies Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes but lacks the charm and style of that game. nicely done from a gameplay imitation standpoint but I'm not paying $12 for a game I can play better somewhere else. if you liked the original game that much maybe you wouldn't try to profit so much from its success.
Great game! I love the playing style and the fact you need an outside manual read by another player is fantastic! It's easy to use and defuse if you know what to do. My only complaint is to make the full version free. Maybe find a different way to make money?
I had heard about the game, keep talking and nobody explodes, and looked on my phone and found this one highly rated and tried it. It is great! Very enjoyable with various difficulties and modules.
Great game. But it is completely bare and incomplete. You need to pay to unlock the full thing... And the full thing is way too expensive. Also we ran into a bug while playing
THIS IS SO FUN WITH FRIENDS. Me and my friends would be screaming scared as heck. Reading the manual was to hard I didn't understand at all but we took about 20 minutes and 6 rounds to figure it out Really Recommend it
Very good game. Played with my family and at first it was confusing, but then we got the hang of it and in three goes we defused the game. Loved it and would definately recommend it to everyone. Gets you in a tense moment.
Well, nice job. This seems challenging and a game that gives you a "real life adventure" like feeling, makes you actually think and use your brain. Keep up the good work! ❤️
Update:it has now gotten fixed, but I will have to leave this here just in case someone will have a similar situation The game is good, but I got a new phone and I'm not able to play the full version as it has no restore purchase option, I have spoke to the developer but they've so far been unable to resolve my issue, it's been over 10 days
This game is really interesting and it's concept has been copied from keep talking and nobody dies. However I don't think you are supposed to trick people into installing this game like this. You should at least specify that only one mode is available to play and this is more like a demo game.
Very fun and cool game. Little stressful when the "expert" is slow. Overall a 5 star.
Definitely the greatest cooperation games out there. I have to say, it is even better than the game that inspired it. I haven't even payed a cent, yet it has kept me and my friends enticed. My friends and I all play music, so you could probably guess what our favorite module is. This game is an intense way to test exactly how well you communicate with others, as the expert or the unlikely hero. Plus there is a slight side effect of playing this game that could come in handy: learning more code!
