The hero is the only player who uses the PC. The other players become the Expert Team and they have access to the bomb defusal manual. They cannot see what the Hero sees on the screen, and the hero cannot see the content of the manual. Players can only use verbal communication, just as if the Expert Team and the Hero were talking through a radio. Work together with your Expert Team and see how many people you can save Describe what you see using just words so that others understand Let your Expert Team talk you through the bomb defusal Put your communication skills to the test WARNING!!! Time pressure and adrenaline rush may lead to shouting, swearing, and misunderstandings, which can cause temporary resentment between friends or silent treatment from a spouse…
