Welcome to one of the most dangerous jobs in the world – bomb disposal. In ages past the weapons left behind on the battlefield posed little danger once the fighting had ended, for without the hand to wield it a sword or spear is inert. But since the advent of explosives, the remains of a war are primed and deadly, and retain their explosive capacity for many, many years after the war has been consigned to the annals of history. Until such a time as weapons are banned globally, or war has been consigned to museums, then brave people are needed to clean the former battle fields of their deadly detritus – the unexploded bomb or UXB!

Description

Welcome to one of the most dangerous jobs in the world – bomb disposal. In ages past the weapons left behind on the battlefield posed little danger once the fighting had ended, for without the hand to wield it a sword or spear is inert. But since the advent of explosives, the remains of a war are primed and deadly, and retain their explosive capacity for many, many years after the war has been consigned to the annals of history. Until such a time as weapons are banned globally, or war has been consigned to museums, then brave people are needed to clean the former battle fields of their deadly detritus – the unexploded bomb or UXB!

  1. "A lot of fun, but don't make the playing field too big." mscaper | Apr 02, 2007 | 04:12 AM
  2. "This game involves a bit of running around to find the hidden bombs within the time limit. It's best not to play somewhere with a lot of traffic!" benclayton | Apr 02, 2007 | 02:50 PM
  3. "It is important to tap the stylus promptly as this will make it react better (considering that you are fighting against time)." Sprout | Apr 03, 2007 | 10:39 AM
  4. "Yes a quick light tap works well. Especially if you use a stylus or the corner of your fingernail." TomMelamed | Apr 03, 2007 | 12:36 PM
  5. "The guessing the colour part is the same as the board game 'Mastermind'. If you are familiar with that it makes it easier." LonBarfield | Apr 23, 2007 | 12:57 PM
  6. "A good game. Fun and quick and great style. Now I think that we should make a "minesweeper" version where you have to decipher the safest path around the field using clues about your surroundings. Probably would be best with a goal that you have to reach" kurt | May 07, 2007 | 11:44 PM
  7. "First time out in Shanghai (Peoples Park - 40-50 yard yard playing field) ... 11 min 41 secs!!" philmckinney | May 13, 2007 | 12:05 AM
  8. "I'm still struggling to make something work! sniff.. wish me luck" jin | May 24, 2007 | 11:51 AM
  9. "Hi Jin,
    I set up a forum topic to help you get Hidden Danger up and running: go to the forum.

    I'm sure we can figure out the problem!" kurt | May 24, 2007 | 09:55 PM
