Bomb Tag

Tag — but the bomb is hot. Hold it too long and you’re out.

How to play

• One player starts holding the bomb (It).
• Tag another player to pass the bomb to them — now they’re It.
• The bomb has a timer. Whoever is holding it when the timer hits zero is eliminated.
• Last player standing wins.

Setup

• 3+ players (with only 2, the loser is always the receiver).
• Place the Play area large enough that being It is genuinely scary.

Tips

• Don’t be the last to receive the bomb.
• Stay close to other players — being far from the pack means nobody to pass to.

For builders

• Demonstrates: a counting timer (tick → increment_state → compare threshold → explode), assign_state_random to pass the bomb to a random survivor, and an opening countdown from onStart.
