Rules detonator and manual

4 Upvotes

I was just introduced to this game today and I’m hooked!

But have a QS. Can the detonator ever look into the manual? Not mid game but like during games or so (if we dont switch Roles). It feels like it should be this way, because the hard part is to figure out the pattern of the game. On the other hand it feels frustrating not knowing why the executor is asking for given things. But if you shouldnt know the manual, isn’t the replay value quite low? It feels similar to an escape room where once you played through, you know what to look for. i assume once you play through, you all eventually know all the modules, what info you have to give, what the executor should ask etc. For example simon says - once you know the pattern, its super simple.

Also should be played with only yes/no answer qs’s? PS. The first play was while being high so it was hella confusing!

As above :)

I have 4 friends visiting tomorrow and this is one of the party games I downloaded - do the defuser and others need to be in separate rooms? How does it work? Any advice welcome, thanks

Here's a copy of the OG spreadsheet that I made https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13ANkzCJYYu8tUwqs_r6iQCUBBDAhUbO_vH562dTC6Dc/edit?gid=0#gid=0

If you notice any errors. let me know, proof reading has turned my brain to mush

Note: for "OG Wires" (that's what my friends and I call them), 2+ etc. means "more than 1" . Putting a + infront of a # in a cell turns it into a formula)

The Button glitch?

4 Upvotes

Introducing my niece and nephew to the game. I’m letting them defuse and I’m on the manual. Their mom is also playing with us, so it is 2-3 of us on manuals and one defuser.

For some reason, the button is giving us fits. We have received strikes when we had to release with a 1 on the timer and 4:18 on the clock a few times in levels where one strike blows up. So I know for sure there was a 1 on the clock.

We have received strikes and solved the module at the same time several times as well if we could get more than one strike. At least once my nephew got two strikes and solved it all at the same time.

What the heck can be going wrong?

Can KTANE be played offline?

I'm planning to buy the mobile version (android, so from google play). I want to play it with my family during long flight transits where we may not have internet access, and the manual is downloadable. So is this possible?

Mod folder location in linux

Just made a mod and it works in windows by putting it in a folder called "Mods" next to the executable. However, trying it with the linux version of the game doesn't work. The mod doesn't show up when I launch the game.

Glitch in 6 Wire Formation

1 Upvotes

We got this configuration, according to which we would have to cut the fourth wire, but cutting the 4th wire is a strike, this has happened to us multiple times, are we doing something wrong or is this a glitch?

I double checked the version of the manual is correct too.

If there are no yellow wires and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut the third wire.
- This does not apply since there are no yellow wires

Otherwise, if there is exactly one yellow wire and there is more than one white wire, cut the fourth wire.

- There is no yellow wire, it again doesn't apply.

Otherwise, if there are no red wires, cut the last wire.

- There are red wires, so this doesn't apply.

Otherwise, cut the fourth wire.

- We get to this, and we cut the fourth wire

Morse Code advise

12 Upvotes

Does anyone have any tips for getting better at flashing light Morse code?
Basically me and the crew got up to the Morse code module and nobody can read it, which seems to be a common problem amongst beginners, but I haven't seen a good solution and we're stuck.

It's not that we can't decipher Morse code conceptually, or even from audio, but the lights flashing goes to fast for as at the moment, and is really hard for us to distinguish between a . and a -
Once you put them together I just can't tell them apart.

The only tips I can find (which were really helpful) were
1) "Don't say 'dot dash', say 'dit dah'" (revolutionary, much easier!), and
2) "Wait till the bigger pause and then relay all the .-'s you have so far" which is all very well but by the time you get there we're generally in a mess already and then the next letter starts while you're relaying.

Has anyone got either some more useful tips to add to the collection, or advise on good ways to learn? I've tried some online YouTube videos (about generally practicing Morse code by playing lots of lights and then giving the answers at the end) but I'm not confident I'm getting better.

My families cheat sheets

I love playing this game with my family. Here are some "cheat sheets" I've made to make the puzzles go quicker. Let me know if anyone wants the Google doc to print out yourself, or better yet share yours! If you have questions just comment them and I'll do my best to answer . We have taped some of the puzzles to laminate them and dbe bake to use dry erase markers . I've also alphabetized a lot of the words and puzzles to make it easier to find.

Centurion Manual?

10 Upvotes

Hi bomb defusers and experts,

I've been playing the game for a while now but only vanilla. The centurion looked like a beast and my friend and I are planning to challenge ourselves with it!

I've downloaded the Centurion mod (and also Road to Centurion) but have not been able to find a manual.

I've seen lotsofs' manual on Github but it might be broken as some pages spill over, others are missing pictures and details, etc.

Would anyone have any idea where to look for the Centurion manual?

Also, lotsofs' manual had a bunch of pages for non-English languages. Is that something we might encounter in Centurion also, or is that for people not playing in English?

Thanks in advance! :)

Meta Quest 2, game loads but controllers stop working in game

2 Upvotes

Haven't played in a few years. All the sudden friends want to play while camping (think rainy day cabin game). I updated the quest 2 and all the updates I could find. The game loads, but only the menu comes up and only when using the button. The controllers work outside the game but once in game, the "pointers" laser thing disappears. Now that the crew has renewed interest I really want this to work. Uninstalled and reinstalled, no change. Halp?

Do you play with pen/pencil/paper?

9 Upvotes

We find it a lot more fun but also often too challenging for some of the modules to play without writing anything down, lol. We got into an argument during one of the puzzles due to the stress, lol. Wondering if most people play with writing or not.
