Public or private online games (shareable invite code) : 1 Defuser facing the bomb, 1 to 3 Experts with the manual - Randomly generated bombs: randomized modules - Integrated voice chat, directly in-game - 100% free, no sign-up required: pick a nickname and jump in - Playable in French, English, and Spanish MAYDAY.
