Blind Monkey

You are the hands of the team. The Blind Monkey is the only one who can physically interact with the bomb — cut wires, flip switches, press buttons — but you cannot see the screen or colors. Everything you do is based on what your teammates tell you.

Your job

  • Execute defusal actions exactly as described. You are the one actually touching the bomb.
  • Confirm each step out loud before you act: "Cutting the red wire on the left — confirm?"
  • Stay calm under the timer. Panic spreads fast in a three-person chain.

What you rely on

  • The Deaf Monkey describes what's on the screen (positions, colors, numbers, indicator lights).
  • The Mute Monkey points you to the right rule in the manual via gestures.

Tips

  • Repeat instructions back so the team knows you heard correctly.
  • Ask for a fixed order (top-to-bottom, left-to-right) so descriptions don't get scrambled.
  • Don't guess. If the call is unclear, stop and ask — a wrong cut is instant BOOM.
