About Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

Game overview

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is the ultimate communication challenge. One player (the Defuser) sees a virtual bomb. The rest (the Experts) hold the manual. But there’s a catch: the Experts can’t see the bomb, and the Defuser can’t see the manual. To succeed, the group has to communicate quickly, clearly and calmly, working together to defuse increasingly complex bombs before time runs out. Each game is different, and each round is a new chance to get better.

Superglue runs a licensed browser version of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, and it is free with a Superglue account. You start a session, give the link to your defuser and talk on the call you already use. The experts read the free Bomb Defusal Manual, so nobody has to buy, install or stream anything. The browser version is made by Superglue, not by Steel Crate Games, the studio behind the original game.

How to play Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

Pick a defuser

One player opens the game on a laptop or desktop and takes the bomb. Everyone else opens the free Bomb Defusal Manual at bombmanual.com. Do not share the defuser's screen: the experts must never see the bomb.

Describe what you see

The defuser calls out wires, buttons, symbols and blinking lights. Keep it precise: "the third wire is blue" beats "there is a blue one somewhere".

Find the right page

The experts hunt through the manual for the module in front of the defuser and talk them through it, one step at a time.

Beat the clock

Every bomb has a timer and a strike counter. Swap roles between bombs so everyone gets a turn in the hot seat.
