Bomb Hide guide
Hide a bomb, then pick squares and pray: the last player left standing wins.
What is Bomb Hide?
Bomb Hide is a hide-and-pick survival game: every player secretly hides one bomb on a grid, then players take turns picking squares, and anyone who picks a bomb square is out. On DD Games you play against 1 to 3 bots in Singleplayer, or with 2 to 4 players online. The last player standing wins.
Bomb Hide is a short, nervy party game. Everyone hides a bomb where they think a rival will step, then the grid becomes a minefield that you all have to walk through together, one square at a time.
The twist is that your own bomb counts too. Pick the square you hid it on and you are out like anyone else, so you have to remember your spot while guessing everyone else's. Bombs can share a square, and when a square explodes, every bomb on it is used up.
Choose a 4x4 grid for quick rounds or 5x5 for longer ones. Bots come in Easy, Medium, Hard and Auto; an Easy bot sometimes forgets where it hid its own bomb.
How to play Bomb Hide
- Choose Singleplayer to play against 1 to 3 bots, or Online for 2 to 4 players in a room or through Quick Play.
- Pick a 4x4 or 5x5 grid. Online, the host chooses before anyone hides a bomb.
- Everyone secretly taps one square to hide their bomb. You only ever see your own.
- Once all bombs are hidden, take turns picking a square. A safe square is revealed and the turn passes on.
- Pick a square with any bomb on it, even your own, and you are out. Keep going until only one player is left.
Rules
- Each player hides exactly one bomb per round, and bombs may share the same square.
- Picking a square with any bomb, including your own, eliminates you; every bomb on that square is spent.
- Players pick in seat order, and eliminated players are skipped for the rest of the match.
- If two or more players remain but only bomb squares are left, the survivors hide new bombs on a fresh grid of the same size and play continues with the next survivor.
- The last player standing wins. All bombs are revealed when the match ends.
Tips and strategy
- Remember where you hid your bomb: picking your own square knocks you out too.
- Think about where rivals are likely to pick early, and hide your bomb there.
- Count the safe squares left versus players still in: late in a round, every pick gets riskier.
- A square someone else just picked safely is gone, so the bombs are squeezed into fewer squares.
- Against bots, picks are random, so there is no pattern to read; just play the odds.
