BOMBANANA! Guides — How to Play, Roles, Controls

BOMBANANA! is a three-player co-op bomb defusal game. Not two, not four — the store page is blunt about it: "No more, no less. Exactly three monkeys required."
Each player is handicapped in a different way, and the bomb can only be solved by pooling what the three of you can each perceive. Everything else in this wiki hangs off that one idea.
The short version
- One player reads the manual. That is the Mute Monkey, and they cannot speak.
- One player touches the bomb. That is the Blind Monkey, who cannot see colours or read screens.
- One player sees everything and hears nothing. That is the Deaf Monkey.
So the information you need is always in the wrong head, and the person who can act on it usually cannot receive it directly. The game is not really about puzzles. It is about building a shared vocabulary fast enough to beat the timer.
Where to go next
- The Three Monkeys — what each role can actually perceive, with the blind view explained
- Bomb Modules — what is on the bomb and how to work through it
- The Manual — what the mute player is looking at
- Communication — how to call things out so the other two understand
- Controls & Emotes — buttons, gestures, and the slap
