“This time,” I said, “I’ll just ask you direct questions about what you’re seeing, and you just give me yes and no answers.” I knew my partner well enough to know that he deals with information a lot different than I do, he needs time to analyse and digest certain details, time that in this particular case, we did not have. Despite the annoyance that he couldn’t comprehend my crystal clear description of the colours and symbols, we had to try again. And that 5 minutes flew by while we were in the midst of saving the Earth. He had no idea what I was talking about, despite the perfect English I was using. It was the smart thing to do, I had to know what we were dealing with and besides to be fair, there was no rule stated that the game had to be played right away without referring to the manual beforehand.īut even with the prior preparation, our first bomb was a disaster. I admit I took some time to look through the manual before we began our first bomb (just me, as I was playing the role of the Expert). It costs RM31 on Steam, a price that’s worth it when it comes to proving the bond of our relationship (no one can put a price to telepathic thinking, I mean, we crush every game of Taboo). Nothing that simple functional grammar, accurate usage of adjectives and nouns, and good comprehension skills can’t handle. So not only do you have to deal with frustratingly confusing descriptions and your partner’s inability to explain Greek characters to you, you also have to defuse the bomb within a set amount of minutes-or everyone dies.ĭepending on the level, the bomb could have up to 11 modules and all the modules have to be disarmed correctly because failure to do so will result in a strike, which will increase the speed of the countdown timer. Of course, with any other functional bomb, it has a countdown timer. The bombs are different in every game and every level, which makes it infinitely replayable, and the possibilities in the combination of modules to disarm are endless and unpredictable. The Defuser has to get the job done without looking at the manual, which means he has to solely depend on the Expert. The catch is that only the Defuser is allowed to look at the bomb and interact with it, while the other player, the Expert, has the bomb manual with the instructions to defuse it. It’s a bomb disarming game that requires the player to interact with a virtual bomb and defuse it by solving several modules with puzzles on it. The game I’m referring to is Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes. My nearly-8-years-boyfriend does what any nearly-8-years-boyfriend would-he agreed enthusiastically. So obviously when we heard about this game that could either make or break a relationship with the power of effective communication, I scoffed and said that we’d beat that game in record-breaking time. My boyfriend and I have been dating for nearly 8 years, that makes us one thing (among other things)-cocky.
