BOB (The Device)

BOB is a team-building exercise. BOB is a small flight case, which can be hidden and then found by the players deciphering clues.

On opening BOB the players find that they have to defuse the device within a given time. First they have to work out a five digit combination, then remove four ‘fuel rods’ in the correct order, and finally ‘cut’ the correct two out of eight jumper wires.

Clues on how they should do this are supplied and they receive visual (via a large-character back-lit LCD display) and audio prompts and warnings throughout the exercise.

Failure to disarm BOB results in a countdown period followed by an ‘explosion’.

All the parameters in the unit are easily changed using the display. BOB is battery operated and can be charged from a car lighter socket.
