I'm curious about playing with 3+ players

[Ignition Spark]

I'm looking for input from people who have played with 3+ players. The game seems like a blast with 2 players but it looks like it leads to one strong player quarterbacking if you play with more than one player on the side with the manual. Does the game have any real use for having more than one player on the side with the manual? Or are extra players just extra pairs of eyes?

With an even number of players would I be better off having people split into 2 person teams and playing competitively?

I would not recommend playing competitively, this game is better with Co-Op.

Regarding your 3-Player question, there are uses for extra players.
1 Player can solve Complicated Wires, while another helps you with Passwords or Memory.
There isn't really a limit to how many players can play with you, but I recommend 3 or more players if you wanna tackle the really tough bombs.

Hope this helps!

How do you play this competitively? The devs don't offer PvP. The only thing I can think of is forming two teams with one leaving the room and the other trying to solve it, then having the other team come in and try to defuse the same bomb, best time wins. Could be fun too. But I think having all on the same team is most fun. So what I just described may be reasonable only when there are 6 or more players.

What you described is currently the only way to do a comp game of KTANE.
