How to Make an Atomic Bomb in Your Garden

It’s a quiet Sunday morning. You're relaxing in your backyard when it suddenly hits you:
You need to build an atomic bomb.
Naturally.

In this absurd single-player simulation, your peaceful suburban life takes a highly unusual turn as you attempt the most questionable DIY project imaginable. Building a nuclear bomb in your backyard might not be the hardest thing you’ve done—but it’s definitely the weirdest.

What You’ll Be Doing

To complete your creation, you’ll need to:

• Raise funds via a chaotic mini-game that tests your charm and hustle.

• Conduct very suspicious research using highly unreliable sources.

• Buy rare parts from sketchy online sellers and shady catalogues.

• Extract critical materials from totally unrelated household items.

• Assemble everything with precision... or at least, something close to it.

• Handle your nosy neighbors, who are just a bit too curious.

• Avoid IRS scrutiny, because spending your fundraiser money on plutonium raises red flags.

• Manage your stress using strange and increasingly unhinged coping mechanisms.

The Goal

The game is structured around three major stages of bomb-building, each representing a significant leap in complexity and risk. Completing all three means you’ve done the unthinkable—and hopefully haven’t blown yourself up in the process.

Disclaimer:
Some elements in this game are inspired by real-world nuclear formulas. Do not try this at home. Do not be inspired. Seriously.
