Two Rooms and a Boom

In Two Rooms and a Boom, a dynamic game of social interaction, players are divided into two teams: the red team and the blue team. The blue team has a President, while the red team has a member carrying a bomb. The participants are dispersed in two different environments, where their identities remain secret. The game takes place over five rounds of time-limited discussions, allowing the players to try to discover each other's identities and form alliances. At the end of each round, some players are swapped between rooms. The objective is strategic: if the red team's bomb finds the blue team's President at the end of the time limit, the red team prevails; if not, victory goes to the blue team.

GAME mechanics

• Players with Different Skills: In Two Rooms and a Boom, each player receives a character card that defines their specific abilities and objectives. In addition to the main characters, such as the President and the Bomber, there are several others with unique abilities that can influence the game in different ways, such as altering the information available or impacting the teams' strategy.
• Team play: Players are divided into two teams: the Blue team, whose main objective is to protect the President, and the Red team, which aims to blow up the Bomber in the same room as the President at the end of the game. Collaboration within the teams is essential, as players must work together to identify members and fulfill their objectives despite being in separate rooms.
• Vote: In each round, both rooms vote to elect a Leader. The Leader has the power to choose players to switch rooms at the end of the round, a crucial element that determines whether players can maintain or change the status quo, as well as influencing each team's ability to complete their objectives.
• Acting/Mime: During the game, communication is limited and players often have to be creative to pass on information without explicitly revealing their cards, using mimicry or acting to give hints about their true identities or abilities without directly compromising their intentions.
• Timed start: The game consists of a fixed number of rounds, each with a limited amount of time. The first rounds are longer and allow for more information exchange, while the final rounds accelerate decision-making, increasing tension and urgency as the game approaches its explosive climax. Time management is crucial, as teams need to optimize communication and room exchanges within the time available.
