## What is Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes?

You’re alone in a room with a bomb. Your friends, the “Experts”, have the manual needed to defuse it. But there’s a catch: the Experts can’t see the bomb, so everyone will need to talk it out – fast!

Rounds are fast-paced, tense, occasionally silly, and almost always loud. Whether it’s defusing a bomb or deciphering information from the manual, everyone has a crucial role to play. 

Put your puzzle-solving and communication skills to the test as you and your friends race to defuse bombs while attempting to communicate quickly before time runs out!

Features

• Challenging puzzles – Test the limits of your communication skills… and friendships?

• A different bomb every time – Procedurally generated puzzles keep the action fresh.

• A pocket party game for two or more local players – Bring it to your next game night, party, or event to play with friends.

• Mobile portability – Shield your screen from the prying eyes of your Experts.

• Only one copy of the game needed – Have friends join in as “Experts” with their own device. Share the Defusal Manual using AirDrop or visit bombmanual.com

• In-person, multiplayer only – A team game intended for players in the same physical space. Online play is not supported. 

• Mission and Free Play Modes – Missions increase in difficulty as players face new modules and constraints are introduced. Unlock Freeplay Mode to set your own pace by creating custom bombs.

### 5/5 — WORTH THE 10$

*2025-11-02*

bro this game is now my all time favorite and I started a week ago, it’s good for 2-4 people and it’s super tense and it’s amazing. Just don’t play it in public because if you play it’s just when you say something people will stare at you but by everything else, FIRE. AMAZING. GOATED.
And to devs, YOU ARE THE BEST the only thing, make a lil bit more levels like a section 8 and that’s it. AMAZING GAME.
100/10
And it’s not good if you have a broken crack that’s on the back button… still it’s fun and great.

### 5/5 — Bomb defusing

*2025-04-11, version 1.9.23*

I am currently writing from Pyongyang, North Korea. This app has tested my unique and exquisite skills in defusing bombs. My goal is to become an employee at the bomb defusing factory that lives in the heart of Pyongyang. The factory defuses dangerous bombs sent from other countries. 
Edit: I got the job! Now I am a skilful master in bomb defusing (I used google translate)
