How To Use The Phone In Paralives

Phones placed from the build menu do not work automatically in Paralives. Paras will not interact with a placed phone or the local phone box unless the player selects their own Para. After selecting the Para, choosing “Use Phone” enables phone functionality. The phone can be used for calling the fire brigade during a house fire, ordering a cleaning service, playing games, and browsing social media. The phone can also support other in-game activities such as donating to the museum, which may require knowing the correct interaction method.

"Placing any phone from the build menu, even the smartphone, didn't work at all. My Paras wouldn't interact with it, nor would they interact with the local phone box other than to smash it to pieces."

"It turns out you just need to click on your own Para while you have them selected, and then choose "Use Phone." Who knew? Certainly not me. I thought this little knowledge gap would stump some of our readers too, so here we are. I'm writing a guide on how to press two buttons. Maybe this one's on me."

"What you will need the phone for, though, is calling the fire brigade if you find yourselves the victims of a house fire, ordering a cleaning service, playing games, or browsing social media."
