Each room is a different cooperative game, with titles like “Hack Attack,” “Floor Grid,” “Echo Chamber,” and “Crypto Laser,” teams work together to earn time on their “Bomb Clock.”

Entering a 5th and final glass-walled “Bomb Room,” they must play a final game to disarm The Bomb before their time runs out. Losing means getting blasted with paint, foam, or slime, while winning unlocks rewards through the Bomb Loyalty program. Repeat players can keep coming back to "Have a Blast,” with new games added regularly to the game library.
