Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is one of the more unique games that players can try out. This co-op puzzle game sees two people try and coordinate to defuse a bomb, with the results being pretty hilarious indeed. One player has access to a manual while the other needs to defuse a bomb within the time limit to complete the stage. It makes for a simple yet engaging premise that transforms into a chaotic experience when players have to quickly relay information before the bomb sets off.
Given the massive community this game has, it was only a matter of time before mods would come to change and enhance the overall experience. This comes in the form of various quality-of-life changes or custom modules that make the game feel fresh. Keeping this in mind, here are some of the best mods that players can download for Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.
10 Mod Selector
Perhaps the first mod that players who want to download custom content need to get is the Mod Selector. It makes choosing and applying mods in the game less of a hassle.
With this simple tweak, players can now access their list of mods and what all can come into the picture during a play session. It's a great quality-of-life mod that makes a world of difference for players who want to get into the action quickly.
9 Switches Module
The Switches Module makes for a simple and fun way to diversify the gameplay of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. It adds another type of bomb that needs to be defused by flipping switches in a particular order.
However, there are certain combinations that will lead to an instant game over as well, so players should heed the instructions properly. It's amazing just how much fun players can wring out of just one custom module, regardless of how simple it may seem at first glance.
8 Two Bits Module
One of the slowest and most frustrating custom modules around, the Two Bits Module is not ideal for a player whose patience wears thin in this game as is. This module is intentionally slow and will take its sweet time revealing whether the code inputted was right or wrong.
The sheer feeling of dread brought about when this module is loading shows just how brilliant it really is. Fans of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes who want the tense moments to feel more oppressive will be right at home with this mod.
7 Math Is Hard
Sometimes, the best modules are also the funniest ones. After all, there's no denying that solving math problems to defuse a bomb can feel rather hilarious at times.
Math is Hard is a mod that lends itself to the sillier aspects of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. It's a great mod for players who want to test their brain's problem-solving capacity in a high-pressure environment... because school clearly didn't cut it, apparently.
6 Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock
The Big Bang Theory might not be as beloved as it used to be all the way back, but there's no denying that the show has some comedic moments of its own. One such iconic part of the series is Sheldon's extension of the classic Rock-Paper-Scissors game.
The complex rules of this game need to be memorized by players if they download this module. Playing a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock against the AI to defuse a bomb is surprisingly engaging and shows why these custom modules are such a hit.
5 The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down
The idea of capturing the essence of the Speed series in this game is a brilliant idea that has been brought to life with the use of mods. The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down forces players to drive a high-speed bus without losing fuel or speed while defusing a bomb at the same time.
Suffice to say, this game room makes things pretty chaotic indeed. Players need to coordinate with the utmost level of finesse to get through this challenging mode unscathed.
4 Minesweeper
Another hilarious custom module comes in the form of a Minesweeper mod. Suffice to say, this mod basically forces people into a game of Minesweeper to try and defuse a bomb.
The hilarity that ensues is bound to be memorable, although the mod allows for its fair share of tense moments as well. It's a perfect mod for fans of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.
3 Multiple Bombs
Trying to defuse multiple bombs with unique modules of their own is a truly chaotic idea that could only be possible with the use of mods. It's a challenging mod that only players familiar with the gameplay mechanics should try out.
Pairing up with a friend to defuse both bombs requires quick fingers and skillful coordination. Even the smallest of slipups can lead to someone's doom.
2 Word Search
A word hunt might not sound like the most exciting concept, but everything takes on a life of its own when a bomb is ticking down at all times. This makes the Word Search custom module a great addition to the game.
That being said, this mod pales in comparison to some of the more unique mentions on this list. However, one can't have enough modules, and Word Search is a great way to expand this collection.
1 BombCreator
Players who want in-depth control while customizing a game of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes will have a great time with the BombCreator mod. It allows for a level of customization for the game modes that simply can't be replicated in the vanilla experience.
From removing the timer entirely to controlling whether vanilla modules even appear in the game — BombCreator is a great way to enhance the experience of playing Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes quite a bit.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Mobile.
