As a member of the Bomb Squad , the player's goal is to disarm a bomb placed by terrorist Boris in the city. The game begins with a view of the damaged code number display, which needs to be repaired to find the correct disarming code.
The player must select squares on the display to access corresponding circuits that can be fixed using tools such as cutters, pliers, and soldering iron. Frank, the player's partner, guides through the repairs, providing instructions on what needs to be done and in what order. The player must use correct replacement parts and follow the repair sequence to avoid losing time or causing the bomb to explode.
On more difficult skill levels, circuit parts may overheat, causing a fire. In these situations, the player can use a fire extinguisher to resolve the issue. Once enough circuits are repaired, the player can decipher the code and enter it into the computer to disarm the bomb. However, if the guess is incorrect, the bomb will explode.
