Play Pass the Bomb Questions for Adults
Looking for a game that’s equal parts funny and chaotic? Grab Pass the Bomb and dive into our collection of adult-themed categories.
Perfect for game nights, parties, or just seeing how far you can push your friends’ comfort zones. The questions? Hilarious. The bomb? Explosive. The stakes? Well, let’s just say, things might get awkward.
How to Play Pass the Bomb
Quick, chaotic, and full of surprises. Here’s how it works:
Pick a category and set the timer. Choose from a mix of hilarious adult-themed categories, from “Weirdest places you’ve done it” to “Bad habits you secretly have.” Set the timer and get ready to race against the clock.
Take turns answering before time runs out. One player starts by naming something that fits the category. Then they pass the “bomb” (anything you have on hand — a timer, phone, or even a stuffed toy) to the next player. No repeats, no hesitation.
Don’t be the one holding the bomb when it explodes! If you hesitate, repeat an answer, or the timer goes off while you’re holding the bomb, you’re out! The group can decide what happens next — drink, do a dare, or just accept your defeat with a smile.
Example round: Category: “Excuses for being late to work”
- “I hit snooze too many times!” (passes bomb)
- “My cat wanted breakfast first.” (passes bomb)
- “I got stuck in traffic, but really, I didn’t leave until 10 minutes ago.” (passes bomb)
- Boom! (player holding the bomb is out)
- Keep playing until there’s only one winner. Or just keep going until no one can breathe from laughing too hard.
Now that you know how to play, it’s time to crank up the chaos. Bring on the best adult-themed Pass the Bomb categories!
