BOMBANANA! Field Guide
BOMBANANA Monkey Roles
The official role split is simple to state and important to keep precise.
The three-role answer
BOMBANANA! uses three asymmetric monkey roles: Blind, Mute, and Deaf. Each receives a different part of the information needed to defuse a bomb, so the team must communicate rather than let one player solve everything.
The official Steam description defines the core boundaries below. It does not establish a difficulty ranking, best role, or every possible interaction.
Blind Monkey
Blind Monkey can touch the bomb but cannot see the bomb, its colors, or the screen. A teammate should not ask Blind to identify a color or read a screen element.
Blind’s useful information comes from interaction and from what the other players communicate. Exact touch feedback and action order beyond the official description are To be confirmed.
Mute Monkey
Mute Monkey is the only role that can read the bomb disposal manual. The official description also says Mute cannot say what it knows, making the role a communication challenge rather than a simple information advantage.
The site does not add a made-up rule about how Mute must communicate. The exact gesture, voice, and interface behavior should be checked in the current build.
Deaf Monkey
Deaf Monkey can see the bomb and team gestures but cannot hear sound. Deaf has visual access to the device and gestures, but spoken audio is not a reliable channel.
The official wording does not say that Deaf can read the manual or touch every part of the bomb. Those extra abilities are not assumed here.
How the roles fit together
Blind Monkey can touch the bomb but cannot see the bomb, its colors, or the screen. Mute Monkey is the only role that can read the bomb disposal manual but cannot say what it knows. Deaf Monkey can see the bomb and team gestures but cannot hear sound.
A practical plan is to state visible observations clearly, relay manual context through an agreed signal system, and confirm physical actions after they happen. That is a recommendation, not a fixed assignment.
What is not confirmed
The verified Steam description does not publish a best-role tier list, role-swapping system, complete action matrix, fixed mistake penalty, or guaranteed solo workaround. It also does not confirm that roles can be changed while a bomb is active.
Community explanations may be useful leads, but a specific ability needs current-game or first-party support. Unknown interactions remain To be confirmed.
Brief before a run
Before starting, make sure all three players know who is Blind, Mute, and Deaf, and agree on how to acknowledge an instruction. Confirm which information cannot be seen, heard, touched, or spoken by each role.
This short briefing prevents communication errors without requiring a long manual or guessed module answer. It is a practical recommendation grounded in the official descriptions.
Final role summary
Blind can touch but cannot see the bomb, colors, or screen. Mute can read the bomb disposal manual but cannot say what it knows. Deaf can see the bomb and team gestures but cannot hear sound.
Those are the reliable BOMBANANA monkey roles for this page. Anything more specific should be added only after version-matched verification.
Evidence used for this page
This page answers the search for BOMBANANA monkey roles using the verified material collected for the project. It combines the official Blind, Mute, and Deaf descriptions and the information each role can access rather than treating every search result as equally reliable.
The page combines the official Steam listing with the dated Steam Community material available in the project research. Source links are kept with the page so readers can distinguish a first-party statement from a future research lead.
What is confirmed here
The confirmed scope is deliberately specific: the official Blind, Mute, and Deaf descriptions and the information each role can access. These statements are written as facts because they are supported by the sources attached to this page.
The scope is also designed to prevent keyword drift. Related topics can be useful links, but they do not become facts on this page merely because they are popular in community discussions.
What is deliberately absent
This page does not claim a best-role ranking, role-swapping behavior, a complete action matrix, and extra fan-made limitations. The collected research does not provide enough first-party or reproducible current-build evidence for those details.
Each missing item remains To be confirmed. That label is part of the answer because a precise-looking number, code, mapping, or release claim would be misleading without a verified source.
How players should use this page
Use the confirmed facts to frame the search and the practical checklist: Brief every teammate on what can be seen, heard, touched, or read before the bomb timer matters. This keeps the page useful without turning a recommendation into an official mechanic.
When a live situation differs from the wording here, check the current build, record the visible state, and compare it with the source date. Do not solve an evidence gap by importing rules from another game.
Version and update standard
A future update should preserve the distinction between historical facts, current snapshots, player recommendations, and unverified claims. Keep a role claim only when it is supported by the official description or a reproducible current-build test.
Game builds, storefront labels, prices, and community explanations can change. A future revision should add the new check date, preserve the old context when it matters, and replace a statement only when a reliable source supports the change.
Research boundary
The page is one part of the larger BOMBANANA knowledge structure: role pages explain information limits, the manual page explains communication, and the modules pages isolate rules that still need testing.
Keeping those boundaries visible prevents one uncertain page from silently supplying facts to another. Until the missing evidence is verified, the correct wording remains To be confirmed.
