Introduction: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Bomb

I recently bought a co-op video game called keep talking ang nobody explodes. In this game you defuse a bomb with random modules while the second player tells you how. I made a customizable bomb inspired by the game and 5 of the modules. This bomb is also a box to store the different parts of the bomb!



-I didn't make all 12 modules

because I haven't played the game that much.

Supplies

  • lots of cardboard
  • hot glue
  • acrylic paint (grey-white-black-yellow)
  • brushes
  • a glass of water (for the acrylics)
  • pencil
  • ruler
  • scissors
  • utility knife (paper cutter)
  • 16 screws -optionally
  • Velcro tape
  • 4 little magnets
  • Double-Sided Tape

Step 1: The Base of the Bomb

First of all you need to draw and cut some cardboard

  1. 2 pieces 17x11,5 cm
