Making them seek refuge in the parlor for example makes sense if you want them to wait out the remaining time distracted by something else (mostly hate for a murderer) until it happens. Or if you want to send a message to Battler, which we know is someone's motive.

We know the bomb happens after the 2 days. We also assume murders happen during those two days. Now me personally I think whether the culprit knows or not about the bomb is irrelevant. The fact is people have a motive for murder. People have a motive to make the bomb. The bomb can be explained later. What I'm more concerned about is: if the bomb was used for murder does that even make sense? Why give them two days to live if you hate them and yourself enough to destroy everything on a 10 KM island? Why not do it right away?
