Paranoia isn’t as scary as it sounds, but it’s also probably not for the faint of heart. It works like this: The first person to ask a question whispers it to the player on their right. That person then answers by selecting someone else in the room. If they say your name, you can decide whether or not you want to know what the question was. Can you hold out and stay blissfully ignorant, or will you let your paranoia get the better of you? If you’re having fun, you can follow this sequence until you’re out of questions.
