Go look at it and tell me how it makes you feel. It's like normal wires except now some of them are STRIPEY and there are LEDs involved and the solution is this weird Venn diagram that looks more like some horribly complicated planetary orbit.

Pip: There's one module in the manual called "Complicated Wires" and looking at that one I can feel my brain panicking. I wonder if typography and the cues that sends about which pieces of information are important is a deliberate part of the game design. But when there's a counter ticking down, even one I can't see, I panic and dismiss the header and small italics as unimportant, and then try to skim-read the bullet points.
There's an underlined heading in bold, a small italicised piece of writing beneath that, and then two sentence-long bullet points.

I lacked confidence in the face of a wall of strange shapes and so didn't feel like I had time to learn how to use them properly - which is dumb, I know. Looking at the symbols puzzle now, it looks straightforward, but my issue in the moment was that I didn't fully read the instructions.
Graham: I think underlying strengths probably play a part when it comes to the confidence with which you approach each challenge. The maze baffled me even when I understood it and I know from experience that I have really bad spatial sense. I wonder if certain kinds of brain will decipher certain modules more readily? I found the wires really easy but because they’re the first thing in the manual, I assume that’s because they’re like Baby’s First Bomb. There came a point when we were trying to decipher the actual instructions while the poor sap with the bomb in front of them was just listening to confused ‘um’s and ‘ahs’. I think that helped it flow and saved us some time.Īdam: And everyone was fucked when it came to Morse Code. I think we were both pretty much equal when it came to pressing buttons. I had the symbol one but you were better at the one where you cut wires. Pip: We ended up assigning tasks as well. That back and forth ensures that everyone is thinking and reacting rather than simply following instructions quietly. The really clever thing about Keep Talking is that the defuser, the person in the room with the bomb, has to provide the experts with information, and they have to decipher it and feed back. With games about communication, there’s often too much pressure on one person to lead, which can leave others in the background, simply following along. It felt very intense, even though there was plenty of laughter. Very serious, very determined to win, because winning meant saving somebody from a bomb. What I loved about the game is how quickly I fell into the role. I can lose a game of Guess Who against a 4 year old. He initially had a different langauge than me, and it took me a moment to realise that his "cursive c and o" was my "curly pig's tail."Īdam: My visual memory, or visual imagination - whatever the thing is that makes me describe things in weird ways - is atrocious. The shared language thing was interesting, especially when we first swapped around and I became a manual-reader and Adam became the defuser. I thought they could be in different columns, and after that led me to give incorrect advice, I decided you must have to read from top-to-bottom and then from left-to-right. Graham: I didn't realise that the four presented symbols always appeared within the same column. As you described them we could narrow down which column you were actually talking about and then tell you the order they appeared in that column so you knew the order in which to press them. The idea was that you (the defuser) have four symbols and we (the bomb defusal experts) had a set of columns containing symbols, like letters from other alphabets. We all ended up knowing what "triangle spiderman" was and there's a shared concept of "apostrophe bum" that's sure to come in useful in all manner of other social situations.
Partly because I found it the easiest, but partly because I like how fast we all developed a shared vocabulary. All the symbols shown are always present in a single column? Upon review, this challenge might reveal that I did not realise how the symbol puzzle worked until this very second. Graham: Four symbols! Pig's tail lightning bolt apostrophe bum triangle spiderman. Pip, Adam and Graham took it in turns to explode, then gathered themselves to discuss the finer points of bomb defusal. They must keep talking to solve those puzzles, or somebody explodes. Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes is a co-op game for two or more people where one is faced with a bomb covered in symbols, buttons, mazes and counters, and everyone else is looking at a defusal manual.
