Gather your most trustworthy—and most suspicious—friends, because the latest social deduction game, Cut That Wire, is here to test your friendships with a literal ticking time bomb. This isn’t your average party game; it’s a high-stakes, first-person multiplayer experience where one wrong snip means instant, comedic, and explosive doom.

If you love the tense backstabbing of games like Among Us or Werewolf but wish they had more bomb-defusal pressure, this is the game for you.

Strapped to a Chair, Four Wires, One Imposter

The premise is as dark as it is hilarious: you and three other players are strapped to chairs, each with a ticking time bomb strapped to your chest by a psychopath. There are four wires attached to your bomb, but only one is the dead wire that leads to instant detonation.

Among the four of you, one player is secretly the Imposter, whose goal is not to cut the bomb, but to trick everyone else into cutting the wrong wire or simply letting the clock run out.

The Gameplay Loop: Bluffing and Bombs

The core of Cut That Wire revolves around two critical phases: the Big Bluff Mini-Games and the Deadly Vote & Cut.

1. The Big Bluff Games

Each round kicks off with a mini-game designed to gather “clues” and provide a perfect opportunity for the Imposter to sow chaos. These games test quick thinking and deception:

• Big Bluff Drawing: Players sketch from a prompt, but the Imposter has a completely different prompt and must bluff their way through their mismatched art.
• Big Bluff Picture: Everyone views an image and answers questions about it, but the Imposter sees a different picture, forcing them to lie and manipulate details to stay convincing.

These games are your chance to spot the Imposter’s suspicious behaviour—or, if you are the Imposter, to expertly feed the group false information.

2. The Deadly Vote & Cut

After the mini-game, the real tension begins. The group must vote on who they believe is the Imposter.

• The chosen player then faces a crucial choice: they must cut a wire.
• They flip a coin to determine if they are cutting a wire on their own bomb or forcing someone else to cut one of theirs.

There is one crucial role: the Engineer. This victim can see one safe wire on a bomb. They must try to steer the group towards the correct wire, but convincing a room full of people facing their own imminent explosion is easier said than done! The Imposter, of course, knows which wires are lethal and will manipulate the group into making a fatal mistake.

With the master timer counting down the entire time, every decision is a race against the clock.

Why You Should Cut That Wire

Cut That Wire is a perfect fit for anyone looking to crank up the stakes in their social deduction sessions. It’s a riot of dark humour, cartoonish violence, and heart-pounding tension that makes every round feel like a frantic escape room.

If you’re ready to test how much you truly trust your friends when their life is in your hands—and vice-versa—then it’s time to take a seat, grab the cutters, and try to survive.
