Why Paranoia works
In OWN PHONES, Paranoia is even more paranoid: the reader sees the question on their own phone, so nobody can glance over their shoulder. Everyone sees each turn at the same moment, and if someone drops out they can rejoin where the room left off. Put it alongside a video call and it feels like the same room.
The deck built for it
OWN PHONES itself is free. Decks are optional one-off purchases, and one player’s decks and Pro work for the whole room.
How to run it
- Everyone needs Paranoia on their own phone, iPhone or Android.
- One player’s decks and Pro work for everyone in the room, whoever is hosting.
- Report and block are always available in OWN PHONES rooms.
