Time Bomb - The Bluffing and Hidden Roles Game

Sherlock or Moriarty: Which side will you choose?

Time Bomb plunges you into the heart of a psychological duel between Sherlock Holmes' team and Moriarty's. In this hidden role game, no one knows who's who. Some try to defuse a bomb hidden in Big Ben, while others do everything to make it explode without being unmasked.

The goal of the game? For the Sherlock team: cut the defusing cables. For the Moriarty team: push others to cut the explosive cable or wait until the end of the rounds.

How to play Time Bomb?

The gameplay is based on psychology and manipulation:

• Secret Roles: Secretly receive your identity. Are you a hero or a saboteur?

• Clues and Bluff: Each player has "Cable" cards in front of them that only they know. It's up to you to convince others to cut yours (or dissuade them!).

• The Pliers: The active player chooses where to cut a cable from another player. This is where the bluff reaches its peak: "Come to me, I have a defusing cable!" is it the truth or a trap?

• The Outcome: The game ends if the bomb explodes (Moriarty's victory) or if all defusing cables are found (Sherlock's victory).
