Frequently Asked Questions
Does the bomb sound actually play?
Yes. The explosion sound is generated using the Web Audio API, so no audio file download is needed. Keep your device volume up and make sure the browser tab is not muted.
Can I use this on a projector?
Yes. Click the Fullscreen button to expand the timer across your entire display. The timer is bright and high-contrast, so it stays visible from across the room.
Can I change the duration?
Yes. Use the quick presets (30s, 1m, 3m, 5m) or type any custom time into the input fields. You can set anything from 1 second to 999 minutes.
Is this appropriate for young students?
The bomb is cartoon-style and purely visual, with no violent content. It is designed for fun and excitement in the classroom. Use your judgment based on your students ages and any sensitivities.
Can I pause the bomb mid-countdown?
Yes. Click "Defuse (Pause)" to freeze the countdown, then Start again to resume. Useful if an interruption happens mid-activity.
