Each round, Bomb Guy will rotate between living players who must type a valid word containing the letters given. Each successful turn causes the bomb fuse to decrease creating more pressure to think quickly. Words can only be used once per round, so no duplicates!
Simple to learn, tough to master, and endlessly replayable, Hot Topic is about speed, creativity, and composure under pressure. It’s the perfect game for parties, streamers, and competitive word nerds alike.
Features include:
- Multiplayer battles with up to 8 players
- Single player "Challenge" mode - See how long you can last!
- Dynamic timer system that gets faster as the game progresses
Whether you're looking to kill a few minutes or test your reflexes in an all-out war of words, Hot Topic delivers a blast of linguistic chaos.
