I recently put together a fan guide hub for BOMBANANA!, a new co-op bomb defusal game where three players have to coordinate under different communication limits.
The site is here:
Why I built it
The game is funny and chaotic, but the learning curve is mostly about communication. New players do not only need a list of rules. They need a content structure that answers practical questions:
- What does each role do?
- Which player should speak first?
- How should the team describe modules?
- What should a beginner team practice in the first session?
That shaped the site architecture more than keyword research alone.
Content structure
I split the guide into a few core sections:
- Role guides: https://bombanana.online/roles
- Module guides: https://bombanana.online/modules
- First-session guide: https://bombanana.online/beginners/how-to-play
- Team callouts: https://bombanana.online/communication/team-callouts
The goal is to make the site useful during actual gameplay, not just readable as a long article.
What I learned
For a small game guide site, the best pages are not always generic “ultimate guide” pages. The highest-value pages are often specific resources that players can use immediately:
- a checklist
- a module walkthrough
- role-specific advice
- short callout systems
- screenshots that match the game state
Next steps
I am continuing to improve the guide with more screenshots, better internal links, and clearer module pages as more players search for help around the demo and full release.
If you are building a small content site for a game, my main takeaway is simple: organize by the player’s next decision, not by what looks like a clean blog category.
