Sure, it requires the ownership of one of three forthcoming VR headsets (in all reality there's no reason this can't be done on a tablet, using touch to rotate and manipulate the bomb, but beyond that it's the perfect party game. What's so brilliant about this game is how accessible it is. It prompted them to form under the banner of Steel Crate Games, and transform the Keep Talking from a prototype to a full-fledged game. Developers Ben Kane, Brian Fetter, and Allen Pestaluky released a video of the gameplay and were met with an overwhelmingly positive response from gamers and press alike.
The first incarnation of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes was a 48-hour prototype, designed for the 2014 Global Game Jam. Suffice to say, we went boom the first time around. What word is written on the button? Should it be pressed and held? What's the resulting color stripe on the right side? As it turns out, I had to depress the button when the timer displayed any increment of "4" on its minute, second, or millisecond display. With seconds left on the timer, a wealth of information still needs to be communicated. The pressure of deactivating the bomb culminates in this final step. It all fell apart when dealing with the big red button.

Oh, and just ignore that alarm going off. Try accurately explaining morse code, venn diagrams, homonyms, or legacy computer ports you haven't seen in 20 years. Our first attempt was set to "First Time Playing" mode, but higher difficulties introduce some wicked problems. The source of the game's genuine tension and resulting fun is the communication and hilarity that ensues as both players try to explain increasingly obscure objects and concepts to each other.
