Boom Royale guide: all eight crackers, and how to become Street Champ

By the bumshi team · 31 October 2026 · 4 min read

Short answer

To win Boom Royale, spend the first few seconds looting while fuses are wet, keep a wall or car between you and the blast, throw from balconies at people who cannot see you, save your thunder bomb for the last small circle, and stay inside the clear air. The last person on their feet is crowned Street Champ.

What is Boom Royale?

Boom Royale is a free Diwali battle royale you play in your browser, on a computer or a phone in landscape. Up to 24 people drop into an Indian neighbourhood at 8 PM and throw firecrackers at each other while the smog closes in. Nobody bleeds. You get dizzy, you see stars, and when your health bar runs out, Mommy arrives and takes you home by the ear.

The eight crackers

You start with ten bangers and find everything else on the floor. Fresh crackers keep turning up inside the clear air all match, and if your pocket runs low a free banger arrives every ten seconds.

Banger is short and red. It goes off 1.6 seconds after it leaves your hand, so lead your target and throw early. You will throw more of these than anything else.
Spinner does little damage but makes people very dizzy. It spins across the floor on its own for six seconds. Throw it into a crowd or a narrow lane.
Fountain burns for five seconds. It barely hurts, but nobody wants to walk through it, so use it to block a stairway or doorway behind you.
Rocket flies straight where you aim, fast and with a wobble, and hits harder than a banger. It is the one cracker that reaches someone across the street.
Thunder Bomb is the big one. The fuse is 4.5 seconds and the blast clears a street. You only ever carry two.
Cracker Chain is a belt of little crackers. It hops around popping for three seconds, a dozen small bites for anyone who stays close.
Potato Bomb is a fat newspaper bomb, somewhere between a banger and a thunder bomb. It knocks people off their feet.
Atom Bomb is very rare, and you only ever carry one. A siren warns the whole street, it paints its blast on the road, and 5.5 seconds later there is a mushroom cloud. Like the thunder bomb, it can be grabbed and thrown back.

Hide first, then throw

A wall soaks up most of a blast, and that one rule decides most fights. With solid cover fully between you and a cracker, you take about a fifth of the hit. Half hidden, you take about half.

Balconies are the best seats in the neighbourhood. Walk up the stairs in the flats, step out, and drop crackers on people in the lane who are looking the wrong way. The half-built building gives you the same view with more ways out. The park has bushes to hide in, but there is not much cover from a blast there.

Do not stay in one spot after you throw. Everyone heard you.

Grab the thunder bomb and send it back

A thunder bomb on the floor with 4.5 seconds on it is not only a problem. Walk up and press E (or tap GRAB on a phone) and it is in your hand, fuse still burning. Throw it back quickly, because if the fuse runs out while you hold it, that one is on you.

Health, dizziness and pickups

Blasts take your health away, and so does smog. Being dizzy pulls your movement off to one side and slows you down, so a dizzy player is easy to hit again. If you get hit, run for cover in a straight line instead of throwing back.

Two pickups help. Candy gives back 25 health. Cotton plugs your ears and halves dizziness for 20 seconds, which is worth picking up before a fight in a crowded lane.

How the smog works

Smog rolls in from the edges in stages and squeezes everyone together. Outside the clear circle you cough your health away, and it gets worse in the later stages. Check the map when the smog starts moving, and leave early, because walking across open road late is how most people get caught.

The Chill Pill ending

When the last small circle closes, the smog stops and a 30 second countdown starts. Everyone still standing when it runs out wins and splits a 1000 point pot, so four survivors get 250 each. You can also bomb the others and keep the whole pot, but they can bomb you back, and if nobody survives, nobody wins.

Fuses are wet for the first few seconds of a match, so nobody can hurt you yet. Spend that time looting.

How points work

You get 50 points for each knockout and 5 for each player you outlast, so every match pays something. Winners add their share of the pot on top.

This is only a game, for fun. Please never throw or aim real crackers at people.

Mistakes that lose rounds

Throwing the banger at where someone is standing. It takes 1.6 seconds to go off and they are moving.
Using the thunder bomb early. It does the most when the circle is small and people have nowhere to go.
Fighting in the open when there is a wall nearby.
Forgetting the smog while chasing someone.

How to play with friends

Tap Create Room and send the code or the link on WhatsApp. The host picks how many bots fill the empty places and how long the round runs, then starts when everyone is in. A room holds up to 24 people. Quick Play drops you into a public match, and Practice runs on your own device against bots, which is the best way to learn the crackers.

Is this safe to try with real crackers?

No. The game is a cartoon: real firecrackers are loud enough to damage hearing and they burn people every Diwali. Never throw one at anybody. Light them outdoors, at a distance, with an adult and a bucket of water nearby.
