BOMBANANA! is a chaotic, explosively funny co-op multiplayer game for three, where each player has only part of the information - blind monkey, deaf monkey and mute monkey must work together to defuse a bomb, or everyone goes BOOM! Will your friendship survive the ultimate test? MEET YOUR SQUAD!🙈 Blind Monkey: You can’t see the bomb, but you can touch the bomb! 👍 Sadly, you can’t see colors or read screens. You’ll need to rely on your teammates for the rest. 🙊 Mute Monkey: You are the only one who can read the bomb disposal manual. If only you could tell the others what you know. 🙉 Deaf Monkey: You can see the bomb and you can see your friends as they frantically gesture at you. Sadly, you can’t hear a thing, but at this point, would you even want to? As you gamble with your friends' lives, you must rely on each other and your monkeys' unique abilities. Communication is key, and there’s no one right way to defuse the bomb. We don’t impose any methods: wave, shout, throw bananas. Working out how you communicate is your job. WARNING!Players can and should expect peak amounts of misunderstanding, unjust accusations, and desperate body language, placing your friendships in jeopardy. Just because you keep talking, that doesn't mean nobody explodes. Even if you manage to survive the bomb, there's no guarantee your friendship will. Some might call this game "friendslop". We disagree. If anything, it's a new genre: anti-friendslop, or perhaps an argument simulator. 🤔 We’ll let you be the judge! FEATURES!3-Player Co-op - No more, no less.

Your options are only limited by your imagination and each player's Emote wheel Slapping - Obviously an essential feature New Environments: We all know the trusty minivan, but what about a plane? What other environments can you defuse bombs in? Environmental Hazards: Navigate events like power outages, obstructions and loud interruptions Voice Ch…

Quickstart

How to actually play this with friends — written by Claude.

## Set it up - Cheap buy on Steam; needs exactly three players on one voice call — no more, no less, by design - Before launch, decide who takes which monkey: Blind Monkey touches the bomb but can't see it, Mute Monkey reads the manual but can't speak, Deaf Monkey sees everything but can't hear the shouting - Grab the manual (digital or printed) for whoever's playing Mute Monkey — they're the only one allowed to read it

## Your first session - Start on the easiest bomb and let the group invent its own sign language before the timer gets tight - Mute Monkey should gesture specific symbols and counts, not just point vaguely — precision beats speed when nobody can talk - Deaf Monkey has to lip-read and mime back constantly; don't let them sit out of communicating just because they can "see everything"

## Group size advice - Strictly three players, always — the whole design is built around exactly one of each disability, no mod or workaround changes that - Rotate who plays which monkey across sessions; each role is a genuinely different puzzle to solve - A perfect pick for a tight three-person group who already loved Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
