Who does the dishes? Who gets the remote?
Settle it in Booomtown.
The couch duel for Apple TV, iPhone and iPad.
In Booomtown, the neighbors can't stand each other. Chef Don Nuggetto, witch Granny Gurgle and zombie Headbert settle their feud in the arena — each with their own specialty.
And the mayor? He just wants a winner for the photo op.
Nobody gets hurt. Just their hairdos.
Nugget bucket, potion or your own head: after 2.5 seconds it goes BOOM — in a cross, two tiles each way. Yours can catch you too.

FasterClear the obstacles out of your way and grab power-ups: more at once, a longer reach, faster feet.
Every hit costs a heart, and you've only got three. Cleared the whole arena? Then the mayor rolls up — and starts throwing money around.
Challenge the person next to you — on the TV or on the iPad. Loser does the dishes. Or take on the computer on your own.
A round takes one to three minutes. Nothing to read, nothing to study. Just one more?
Play solo with touch on iPhone and iPad, or with the Siri Remote on Apple TV. For two players, you need at least one game controller.
Booomtown collects no personal data. You just play.
Same rules for everyone — but each of them has their own specialty, and it goes BOOM in its own way.
Runs the greasiest diner in town and calls Granny Gurgle’s potions pure poison. When his bucket bursts, it rains nuggets, fries and ketchup.
Says Don Nuggetto’s cooking is more dangerous than anything she brews. Her bottles wobble, pop their cork and burst into sparks, shards and a glowing magic circle.
Just wants some peace and quiet on his graveyard, and he'll use his head for it. Literally: he throws it, and a new one grows right back.
Three neighborhoods, one town — and each thinks it's the best. Every arena plays by the same rules but looks completely different.
Checkered tiles, diner tables and food carts that crumble like breading. The fryer is still steaming.
Solid: tables · Clears away: food carts
Mossy ground, massive tree stumps and toadstools that sprout from the earth. Fireflies drift past the witch's hut.
Solid: tree stumps · Clears away: toadstools
Moonlight, tombstones and flowers. Candles flicker on distant graves, and a crow is watching you.
Solid: tombstones · Clears away: flowers
Six more neighbors have moved in – and each one brought their own arena. That makes nine characters and nine arenas in Booomtown.
Brought the summer with him and won’t stop talking about Rio. His pineapple bursts into juicy chunks and leaves a slice on the ground.
Arena: Copacabanana · the beach
Has a screw loose and a jar of medium-hot mustard in his hand. When it bursts, the lid flies and the mustard splats.
Arena: Rust Bucket · the workshop
Quick on her feet and never without lunch. Her ramen bowl bursts into noodles, egg halves and chopsticks.
Arena: Dojo Loco · the ninja dojo
Always in a hurry, never sure which time zone she’s in. Her suitcase pops open and everything inside flies around – neck pillow included.
Arena: Last Call · the airport
Takes it easy – and always has three cans on him. Well shaken, they burst into a fizzing mountain of foam.
Arena: Easy Street · the street
Turns every duel into a show. Her teddy doesn’t tear – it goes poof in fluffy flakes, hearts and glitter.
Arena: Hype Hall · the concert stage

Don Nuggetto, Granny Gurgle, Headbert and their three arenas stay free.

Xbox Wireless controllers, PlayStation DualSense and DualShock 4, and MFi controllers.
Put your thumb on the left half of the screen and a stick appears under it — drag to walk. Tap the right half to drop your specialty. Rather swipe, left-handed or no vibration? Tap the gear to change it. A short tutorial shows you how the first time you play.
