About the Game

Penguin Kaboom is a fast-paced cooperative game where players become an elite (and slightly clumsy) squad of penguins tasked with defusing bombs across the icy city of Penguinvania.

Each mission presents a unique scenario, as players race against the clock to stop the villainous Orca Bomber—a dramatic mastermind determined to turn Penguinvania into frozen rubble.

Choose one of the 15 replayable missions, each with its own difficulty and setup.

On your turn, take all available dice along with any previously assigned ones you choose to re-roll. Each hammer result becomes locked in the recharge zone. The remaining dice can be placed to defuse bombs by matching their icons with those shown on the bombs and alerts. Think fast, every time you assign at least one die, you may roll the remaining available ones again.

Work together to defuse all bombs before time runs out or too many alerts trigger.

With 3 difficulty levels, quick turns, and an escalating sense of urgency, Penguin Kaboomb delivers teamwork, tension, and a lot of frozen feathers.

The clock is ticking. Can your team keep cool under pressure?
