How to play Paranoia

One person reads a secret question, like "Who here is the worst liar?", and says a name out loud. Now that person has to decide: drink to find out what the question was, or live with not knowing. Built for one phone passed around the table, so the question stays secret until someone pays to see it.

  1. Add at least three players, then hit Start round.
  2. Pass the phone to the asker. Only they tap Show me and read the secret question.
  3. They tap the name of whoever fits it best, and the card hides again.
  4. Everyone hears who got picked. That person can drink the sips on the card to see the question, or let it go.
  5. Hit Next turn and pass the phone to the next player.

FAQ

How do you play Paranoia as a drinking game?
Someone reads a question in secret and names the person who fits it. The person named drinks if they want to know what the question was. If they don't drink, it stays a secret.
How do you play Paranoia without whispering?
That's what this version is for. The phone shows the question only to the asker, hides it once they pick someone, and only shows it to the table if the person picked drinks.
How many people do you need?
At least three: one to ask and two to choose from. It's better with five or more.
Is it free?
Yes. Every Rowdy Rounds game is free, with no account and no app to download.
