BOMBANANA Roles

Blind Monkey touches the bomb, Mute Monkey reads the manual, and Deaf Monkey sees the global view. The three channels only work when nobody crosses role lines.

Which role should you pick?

Blind = lowest mental load to start.

Mute = hardest beginner role.

Deaf = attention bottleneck.

Rotate every few runs. A crew that stays locked into the same three roles never learns what the other seats need to succeed.

FAQ

Do all three roles need to be filled?

Yes. The Demo uses a fixed 3-player crew: Blind Monkey, Mute Monkey, and Deaf Monkey.

Can Blind Monkey hear or speak?

This site does not assert it either way. Official Demo text calls Blind also deaf and mute, while community guides conflict; check the in-game voice permissions.

Which role is easiest to learn?

Blind Monkey has the lowest mental load to start. Mute Monkey is the hardest beginner role because the manual drives the crew.
