Bucket Brigade

How to play

1. The town is on fire! Everyone plays together with a single ACTION button that changes with whatever you are holding.
2. Fill your bucket at the fountain, the river or a pump (1 second). A full bucket slows you down.
3. There are only buckets for half the group plus one: line up and pass them. ACTION next to someone with free hands passes the bucket; full ones flow to the fire, empty ones back to the water.
4. Pass a bucket within 0.6 s of receiving it to grow the team CHAIN up to double water. If both of you are moving, some of it spills.
5. Near the fire, ACTION throws the water in a cone. Careful: soak a friend and they slip, and a tossed empty bucket can land on someone’s head.
6. The wind pushes the fire (with a 5 s warning). Save the houses for stars (★ 50%, ★★ 75%, ★★★ 90%) and rescue the cats from the roofs.

Bucket Brigade is Iron Bucket Games’ signature co-op game: 1 to 16 players form a pixel-art bucket chain to put out fires in villages, coffee farms, markets and beaches, right from their phones with nothing to install.
