Paranoia

Whispered questions, public answers, and the agonising option to find out what was asked — at a price. Simple mechanic, surprisingly charged atmosphere. You'll spend the whole game wondering what people said about you.

How to Play

  1. 1

    Players sit in a circle. The person to your right whispers you a question — the answer must be the name of someone in the group (e.g. 'Who is most likely to get lost in a supermarket?').

  2. 2

    You say the answer out loud for everyone to hear, but you do NOT reveal the question.

  3. 3

    The person named as the answer now has a choice: let it go (question stays secret forever) or find out what was asked.

  4. 4

    To find out the question, they must accept a consequence — a dare, a drink, or any penalty the group agrees on.

  5. 5

    Once revealed or let go, the turn passes to the left.

  6. 6

    The game gets tense fast as people accumulate unanswered questions about themselves.
