About

Exploding Whale Party Game!

Features
Read full description

A beached whale is filling with gas — and only your crew can vent it before it goes BOOM. Inspired by Space Team! Exploding Whale is a frantic real-time co-op party game for 2–8 players. Everyone gets a control panel full of buttons, dials, and switches… but the orders on YOUR screen operate everyone ELSE'S panel. So the only way out is to shout: read your order aloud, find who has that control, and race the timer together. The catch? The gear is salvaged from all over the world, so it's labelled in languages — and symbols — you won't recognize. Cue the beautiful chaos of eight people yelling "TURN THE PURPLE DIAMOND TO THREE!" at once. • 2–8 players — pass-and-play in the same room or connect online • No two panels alike — shouting is the whole game • The board falls apart as you survive: dials drift, switches rattle loose, the pressure climbs • Optional "SCREAM" and "STAY QUIET" rounds that use your mic (fully opt-in) • Adjustable difficulty and quick pick-up-and-play rounds • Free to play Perfect for parties, road trips, family game night, or anyone who loves cooperative-shouting chaos. Inspired by Spaceteam and the co-op shouting genre it created. Grab your crew. Save the whale. Try not to lose any friends.
