Snip & Pray
A bomb-defusing party game built for a crowd — among the colorful wires, exactly one is live.
About This Game
A bomb-defusing party game built for a crowd — among the colorful wires, exactly one is live. Dial in your group size from two to nine players and the bomb grows a matching wire for each person, so everyone gets skin in the game.
Then the fuse lights: one shared countdown for the whole table, a spark crawling visibly down toward the bomb while the ticking gets faster and the timer drains from green to red.
Take turns passing the phone and snipping — snip the live wire and its number goes down as the loser; if every other wire falls safely, the last one left blows by itself and its number loses anyway. Let the clock hit zero and the whole table loses together.
Because the timer is shared, hesitation is contagious: every second someone agonizes is a second stolen from the next player, which is exactly where the shrieking comes from. No skill, no mercy, pure nerve — the perfect icebreaker for parties, get-togethers and long trips.
