A 1 minute bomb timer
This is a 1-minute bomb-style countdown, pre-set and ready to go — a lightning round of hot potato. Hit Light the Fuse and the big digital readout starts falling from 1:00. The stage pulses red, the warning symbols flash, and the ticks speed up as the fuse burns down. The last ten seconds shake the screen, and at zero you get a flash-of-light BOOM.
What fits in 1 minute
One minute is about six quiz questions, one charades turn, or as long as most people can hold a plank. Short enough that nobody loses interest and the round resets fast.
It suits quick-fire quiz rounds, pass-the-parcel and "beat the bomb" challenges. If you need a different fuse, every other length is one tap away below, or type your own into the box.
How a 1 minute fuse feels
There is no slow build at a minute — the ticks are already urgent by the time anyone has settled, which is exactly what a fast passing game wants.
Before you start
The ⛶ button fills the screen, which is where the effect actually lands, and 🔊 silences the ticks and the explosion if the room is already loud. Reset defuses it early. There is a fuller rundown of the stages, the sounds and the classroom uses on the main bomb timer page.
