A 3 minute bomb timer
This is a 3-minute bomb-style countdown, pre-set and ready to go — a full game round. Hit Light the Fuse and the big digital readout starts falling from 3:00. 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 3 minutes
Three minutes is a boxing round, a debate rebuttal, a soft-boiled egg, or one turn in a slow board game. Long enough to think, short enough that stalling is obvious.
It suits board-game turns, debate rebuttals and three-minute drills. If you need a different fuse, every other length is one tap away below, or type your own into the box.
How a 3 minute fuse feels
Three minutes has a proper shape: a settled opening, a noticeable shift at ninety seconds, then the final shake.
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.
