Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes reveals potential for virtual reality games

The Samsung Gear VR has a new game available that shows how virtual reality devices can be used in new, creative ways for game play. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a cooperative video game that requires at least two players – one wearing a Gear VR headset and one manning a bomb defusing manual. As a demo video for the title shows, getting a group together for some gameplay will work as well and may even add to the experience.

The premise is simple. The game generates a random bomb comprised of puzzles that is presented in the Gear VR device. The person wearing the device has to describe what they see to their fellow players who have the bomb defusing instructions. To help spice things up, the manual is intentionally convoluted forcing players to really pay attention to what is being described to them. Those players then have to relay instructions back to the person viewing the bomb on how to stop it. In the true tradition of classic bomb squad work, there is a time element that the players are up against as they try to defuse the bomb and stop a virtual explosion.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is scheduled to hit the Gear VR story today for $9.99. You can check out a video showing some gameplay below.
