BOMBANANA roles: Blind, Mute, and Deaf Monkey
BOMBANANA roles are an information split: each monkey has only part of what the trio needs to defuse.
- Blind Monkey — can touch the bomb; cannot see colors or screens.
- Mute Monkey — only one who can read the manual; cannot speak.
- Deaf Monkey — can see the bomb and gestures; cannot hear.
- Exactly three roles. No published flex / solo cover for a missing monkey.
- Rotate roles across Campaign's 30 levels — Steam does not rank them.
Role capabilities
| Role | Can | Cannot |
|---|---|---|
| Blind Monkey | Touch the bomb | See colors or screens |
| Mute Monkey | Read the in-game manual | Speak |
| Deaf Monkey | See the bomb and gestures | Hear |
Blind Monkey
Physical operator. Teammates must use positions and timings, not 'the red one'. Colorblind mode does not fix this role.
Mute Monkey
Holds the in-game manual. Communicate with the emote wheel, pointing, waving — not Discord workarounds that ignore the mute rule. Deep dive: Mute Monkey guide and Manual explained.
Deaf Monkey
Visual hub: watch the bomb and Mute's gestures. Audio callouts are wasted here; present info in sightlines.
Picking for your group
Steam does not rank roles. Avoid locking someone who hates performing on Mute all night, or someone motion-sick on Deaf for hours. Two players cannot cover three senses — see Co-op.
