- The monkey who can’t speak is the only one who can see the blueprint card with the outline of the structure that their team must build, but they are not allowed to talk. They can communicate only in gestures.
- The monkey in the middle must interpret the gestures of the monkey who can’t speak and relay them to the monkey who can’t see so that they can build the structure.
