Paranoia Game

How to play

Paranoia is a whispering game for three or more people in a circle. Every card is a Who here question. Everyone hears the answer, but the question stays private unless the coin gives it away.

1. Open the deck on one phone and choose All or a category that suits your group.
2. The asker reads the card, whispers it to the person sitting on their left and hands over the phone.
3. That player answers with just a name from the circle. No explaining allowed.
4. With the screen turned away from the named player, the answerer taps Flip the coin. Heads, they have to share the question with everyone. Tails, nobody else ever learns it.
5. The answerer then taps Next and becomes the new asker.

Controls

• All, Funny, Kids, Teens, Friends, Family, Deep, Gross, Food, School and Dream life choose which questions come up.
• Next and Back move through the deck, or swipe the card on a phone.
• Flip the coin comes up heads or tails, each half the time, and clears on the next card.
• Play with friends lets you Add each player in seat order. Then every card names who whispers next.

Tips

• Keep the screen away from the named player when you flip. The question sits right above the coin button.
• Agree that the first flip counts. The button works more than once, and a second try is cheating.
• Bigger circles are better: with more people to pick from, a name gives away less about the question.
• Playing in class or with younger kids? Stay in Kids, Funny or School.
• If a card could hurt someone's feelings, skip it with Next. Nobody should dread the coin landing on heads.
