How to Play Paranoia

Want to play a wicked drinking game with your friends? Look no further! Paranoia is a simple mind game that can put your friendship to the test.

What’s more fun than a daring game that lets you find out what exactly your friends think about you? Paranoia is a drinking game that lets you drink and get wicked with your friends. The game revolves around a series of questions, starting from family-friendly questions to dirty s*x-related questions.

Paranoia, as the name suggests, is a game that plays with your mind. A player whispers a question to the player sitting next to him. That player has to say aloud the name of the person whom he/she thinks is the answer from the group. This increases the curiosity level of the player being named. That player keeps wondering why his name was taken till he decides to chug a beer to know the question. The questions posed are super fun but sometimes can make or break relationships.

The Setup

It is a simple game that doesn’t require any physical items except some beer or shots. Gather 4 or more players to start the game. The game can be really entertaining if you have a large group of friends.

Make a long list of “Who” questions before the game, like “Who is the nerdy one in the group?”. The questions can be hilarious or outrageous. A list of the most fun questions is stated later in this post. 

Grab some of your favorite beers, or you can even get a few shots to get started. Beers are more fun and let you fully enjoy the game. Using hard liquors may end your game pretty quickly.

The game can be played anywhere from your room to a waiting area. Find a nice place to sit, gather some friends, prepare a list of questions, pick your favorite alcoholic beverage, and you’re all set to start the game.

Rules to Play Paranoia

Here are some rules for your guidance to play a fun-devilish game. It’s an easy drinking game to enjoy an awesome night with your friends.

  • Sit in a circular formation around a table or on a floor. Place beer glasses or shots in the centre.
  • The game begins by selecting a player. Usually, the youngest one goes first. That player asks a “Who” question to the player sitting right to him/her. For instance, “Who is the most beautiful girl in the group?” or “Who will die a virgin?” 
  • The player being questioned must answer out loud or point to the player on the table, whom he/she believes may be the answer.
  • Now the player being called out must decide what to do. There are two choices. One the player may ignore why his/her name was taken and the game continues. Second, that player can choose to neck down a drink if they wanna know the question. 
  • In both cases, the player being pointed at gets to ask the next question.
  • A player can pass a question only once or twice during the game.
  • The players can play the game as long as they want or end it if someone gets really pissed off. The most important thing is not to ruin the friendship over a game.
