Some of you may be wondering what Paranoia is. Well, Paranoia is a school-wide game of tag. But what does that mean? Basically, students pay $3 (or however much money you are going to sell the cards for) and they get their name entered into a randomizer. After everyone has entered, the names are put onto a card. The cards can be regular playing cards,  cardstock, or pretty much any kind of paper; this year Century High School used Star Wars playing cards.  All of the names are put on individual cards. Each card has a name on the front (the person’s card) and on the back (the name of the person they’re trying to find). Everyone picks up their own card to start playing the game. The game usually starts the day after the cards have been distributed or picked up.  Now, there are some basic rules. Also, it can be very fun to have teachers involved! People really get into Paranoia and they’ll be sprinting down the halls trying to tag their person or get to class on time. This year, all three Rochester high schools participated. Lots of people changed their names on Facebook so that the people chasing them wouldn’t be able to cyber stalk them. It’s really fun to get into the game! Key Club presented the winner with a $50 Target gift card. Paranoia is a really easy way to not only get the whole school involved in a really fun activity, but it can also be used as a marketing tool to grow your own Key Club!
