But your friends, the experts, have the manual to defuse it, but they can’t see the bomb, so you’re going to have to talk it out – fast! Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a local co-op game that requires two or more players, but it is a bit different for other local co-op games as only one player is permitted to see the screen! You find yourself alone in a room with a bomb, with minutes to defuse it. So what is this stressful game and what is so good about it that we quite happily spend our evenings playing it? The game is called Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, and it is available on various platforms for PC, mobile, VR and games consoles, we have been playing it on the Xbox One and our £12.50 investment has been more than worth it. After all, how many people would want to use their free time of an evening defusing a bomb? Obviously, this isn’t a real bomb, but a game where a series of puzzles (modules) have to be solved on a suitcase bomb within a specified time to safely defuse it before it explodes. We love playing puzzle games on the Xbox and recently came across a brilliant game that requires teamwork, communication and co-operation, although how relaxing it can be is a topic for discussion.
Most evenings, after dinner we like to sit down and watch some television, but recently we have been taking a leaf out of the kids book and playing on the Xbox. In our house, once the kids are finished with their homeschooling and finished arguing with each other over everything or nothing and gone up to bed it is the time for us adults to sit down and enjoy the evening. Work, shopping, housework, homeschooling, whatever you do with your day at some point you just need to sit down, relax and take some me time.
