Color Slider
Easy
What you need

What the current manual gives you
Don’t reuse an old color chart
The current manual is the source for this bomb. Read it again on a new run, even when the colors look familiar.
Color Slider doesn’t use one permanent Red = UP, Blue = DOWN chart. The directions can change on a new bomb, so an answer copied from a previous run may be wrong.
Always take the four directions from the manual you’re using now. This page asks for them instead of assuming them.
- Red
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow

Looking for a CHAOS Module?
Slider, Pressure, and Alarm aren't part of the standard puzzle manual. They're managed during the run rather than solved like the 11 standard modules above.
SliderCHAOSKeep the interruption under control without losing track of the main puzzle.
PressureCHAOSKnow when it needs attention and what your team should call out.
AlarmCHAOSHandle the alarm quickly, then get your team back onto the bomb.
BOMBANANA Manual FAQ
- Is this the BOMBANANA bomb manual?
- This page organizes the rules and lookup information for all 11 standard modules into fast, module-by-module sections.
- Should I use the manual or a solver?
- Use the manual when you want to read the rule or table yourself. Use a solver when you want the current inputs converted directly into the next action.
- How many standard modules are in the manual?
- 11.
- Why doesn't Color Slider have a fixed color chart?
- Its color directions can change on a new bomb, so you need the current manual mapping.
- Are Slider, Pressure, and Alarm in this manual?
- They are CHAOS modules and are handled separately.

These three turn information into a physical position, the same way a manual section does — so they are the closest thing to this page when you want an answer instead of a rule.
