Kaboom! Minefield Challenge

Kaboom!

What it is
An exciting challenge game where players navigate a hidden “minefield”, testing memory, decision-making and nerve as they try to avoid the “kaboom” and reach the end. Simple to understand but surprisingly competitive, it quickly draws people in for repeat attempts.
