Ladder Bomb
One column at the bottom of this ladder hides a bomb, and every other one holds a strawberry.
About This Game
One column at the bottom of this ladder hides a bomb, and every other one holds a strawberry. Set how many are playing and the game draws a brand-new ladder on the spot, weaving in more crossing rungs with every extra player, so a full table turns into a genuine tangle.
Once it finishes drawing, a curtain marked MYSTERY ZONE drops over the middle stretch and swallows the busiest section of the paths.
The bomb itself never hides. It sits at the bottom pulsing red before anyone picks, which means you always know which column is fatal and almost never how the lines get there.
Choose a starting number and the curtain lifts the instant you commit, so the marker traces its whole route in the open — a strawberry, or the blast. Whoever comes up safe picks another number off the same ladder, and it runs on until the bomb finally goes off. There is no score to chase; it exists purely to settle who pays, who goes first, or who does the dishes.
Game Tips
