BOMBANANA Manual Guide
The manual in BOMBANANA is held exclusively by the Mute player, who must translate Deaf's non-verbal observations into specific physical actions for Blind without speaking.

How to Process Manual Rules in the 3-Role Chain
The official Steam description assigns the bomb-disposal manual to the Mute role. The Relay Board does not contain that manual: it only gives the team a place to record the decision they reached from their current copy.
- Receive Deaf's Visual State: Read the exact symbols, numbers, and switch orientations provided by the Deaf observer.
- Locate the Specific Module Section: Find the matching section in the team's current manual and note the version or language boundary if it is uncertain.
- Evaluate the Manual: Follow the manual as written; the website does not supply or verify the branch.
- Formulate the Target Action: Write down the single unambiguous action instruction to hand off to Blind.
Version Differences and Translation Safety
Demo, language, and release materials may not be interchangeable. If the team cannot establish that its manual matches the active build, preserve the uncertainty as a Conflict instead of guessing from a competitor table or memory.
Common Manual Failures and Recovery
Deaf describes symbols not found in your manual page
Potential language edition mismatch or misidentified module face
Recheck the module label and manual scope. If the mismatch remains, mark the entry as Conflict and do not relay an action from this record.Multiple rule branches appear equally valid for the observed state
The manual requires an observation that is not yet recorded
Request the missing observation before writing a final action.Manual Guide FAQ
Can Deaf or Blind look at the manual during a live round?
Standard co-op rules require that only the Mute player holds and reads the defusal manual.
What should Mute do when a rule table has ambiguous branches?
Ask Deaf for clarification using non-verbal signals, or record both candidate branches in the Relay Board as alternative entries.
