Rescue the Hostages: Cryptic Countdown is a high-pressure FMV thriller where you must solve timed word scramble challenges to disarm a bomb and save trapped hostages.
A live-action FMV sequence unfolds in real time, with the bomb’s timer synced directly to the game. You have ten minutes to unscramble 20 words before the countdown reaches zero.
The game features three escalating levels, each introducing a new group of hostages and increasingly difficult word scrambles. Every second matters in this race against time.
