What a session at Bomb Squad looks like: from briefing to explosion

No drawn-out staging, no set to walk through as a passive observer: at Bomb Squad, you get straight into the action, and the tension stays high right to the end. Here's what awaits a team walking through the door for the first time.

The concept, in one sentence

The activity is built around a series of challenges to work through, all serving a single goal: successfully defusing the bomb during the final test. Every challenge completed brings the team closer to this moment of truth — and it's there, on that final stretch, that everything is truly decided.

And what if you fail?

The rule is simple and unambiguous: if the team fails to defuse the bomb in time during the final test, it explodes. Don't worry: it's a paint explosion, designed to make an impression without ever putting anyone in danger. Win or lose, the session always ends on a real climax, not a clock that just quietly runs out.

Format and practical information
