What is Bomb Rush?
Bomb Rush is hot potato with a lit fuse. A bomb is going around the group, and nobody knows how long the fuse is.
When it lands on your phone, tap PASS to throw it at someone else. The bomb keeps moving around the table until it explodes — and whoever is holding it drinks.
How to play Bomb Rush online

Tips
- There's a short moment after you catch the bomb before you can pass it on — fast thumbs alone won't save you.
