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. Estimated Playtime: 30–180 minutes
