In BOMBANANA!, the challenge is not so much defusing bombs as it is coordinating with friends in a comedic chaos. Each player takes on one of three unique and limited roles: blind, deaf, or mute.

Cooperative Play

The fun lies in the absurd exchange of information between these characters who share a common mission but with very specific tools. The game turns communication difficulties into a social experience full of laughter and creativity.

Frustrating Design Hinders Players

The frustrating design prevents players from starting new games without written chat, creating tough moments especially during the first sessions. Basic communication is an obstacle for those who can't use the microphone.
