Games Like Detonate & Dash

One bomb. Four players. One couch.

Somebody is holding a live bomb. When the timer hits zero, that person is out. Everyone else has thirty seconds to make sure it isn't them. Detonate & Dash is a local multiplayer party game for up to four people on a single screen. No lobbies, no matchmaking, no waiting — press start and the argument begins.

Eight modes. Every one of them free.

56 arenas, every one hand-built

Not procedurally spat out — designed. Spires. Scaffold. The Warrens. Bottleneck. The Rink. Gridiron. Clockwork. Pendulum. The Aviary. Every arena carries its own faint blueprint glowing behind the geometry — a boiler room, a classroom, a fairground — so no two rounds ever feel like the same place. And the arenas don't sit still. Hit a wall switch and the whole thing rotates ninety degrees while you're mid-jump. Gravity follows. You don't.

Bots worth beating

Play alone or fill empty slots with CPU players who genuinely differ. Sniper lines up the shot. Reckless takes it anyway. Cautious waits you out. Hunter comes straight for you. They are not four copies of the same AI wearing different colours.

Everything else

Free to play, honestly

Every mode is free. All of them. 27 of the 56 arenas are yours for nothing, and further arena packs are coming after launch — but all eight modes are in from day one whatever you spend, and they always will be. We gated modes in an early build and it was the wrong call: the best-built thing in the game stayed invisible to everyone who hadn't already paid. So now you get all eight, and you decide whether the extra arenas are worth it after you've played.

Before you install

This is a local multiplayer game. Everyone plays on one screen, in one room. There is no online multiplayer and no remote play built in. If you're looking for something to play with friends over the internet, this isn't it — but if you have people in the room, it's exactly it.
