🎭 THE EXPERIENCE

We're returning to Beat The Bomb, and this time we're at their Houston location to take on the "Slime Bomb Mission" with our friends from the UK. We found that a group of four was the ideal number for this game. Below are the various challenges we encountered:

"Space Junk" - It's time to play cosmic janitor! Team up to zap those pesky debris blocks zooming around your touchscreens. Just wave your magic wristband to snag 'em and toss 'em out before the cosmic clock hits zero. Can you clean up the universe before the countdown says, "Game over"?

"Laser Vault" - Crack open the vault like a pro! Strap on your trusty wristband and scavenge for those rainbow-colored keys hiding around the room. But watch out—those sneaky lasers are just waiting to zap you on your way back! Line up the keys with the right slots on the vault door. And remember, too many laser zaps will send you back to square one faster than you can say "Oops!"

"Word Bank" challenges your memory as you memorize words on the screen and collaborate with your team to find the missing one. Choose to secure your points or risk them for a chance at glory.

In "Avoidance", players become expert ninjas, sidestepping obstacles with the grace of a dancing giraffe. Show off your slick moves and dodge each challenge to advance to the next level!

"Meltdown" - Quick, yank those pesky nodes off the screen before everything goes kaboom! Hit your button like a pro when your color pops up to zap them away. But watch out—goofing up will send us straight into meltdown city!

Based on our performance in each of the games, we earn time as a reward at the end of each round. These times are accumulated to provide us with a total time to use in the fifth and final room, "The Bomb Room." We achieved a level 9 out of 10, but unfortunately, we did not succeed in defusing the bomb this time.

🔎 SOME HELPFUL TIPS

"Space Junk" - Assign each player a color and one collector. Each player should focus on collecting their designated color on the screen, while the collector concentrates on gathering and dumping.
"Laser Vault" - Utilize the brief pause between rounds to position your players on the other side, preparing them to collect the necessary color without needing to navigate through the laser.
"Word Bank" - Assign each player a specific section of the screen to remember. Ask around the room when the word appears to see if they recognize it.
"Avoidance" - Avoid making large movements. Stay agile and learn from the previous player's mistakes by remembering the pattern.
"Meltdown" - Those starting should strive to minimize mistakes, as each error speeds up the circle, reducing opportunities for players at the end.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

We're thrilled to share our second Beat the Bomb mission experience with you! Dive into our "Paint Bomb Mission" to compare and decide which one you might enjoy more. When it comes to puzzles, this mission is definitely more challenging, especially the final Meltdown! Every teammate needs to bring their A-game in dexterity and success to conquer the last round. Plus, did you know there's a third mission? "Foam Mission" is waiting for us, and we can't wait to try it! Whether it's paint, slime, or foam, one thing's for sure—we always have an absolute BLAST at Beat the Bomb!
