How To Use The Phone In Paralives

Look, it's frankly embarrassing how long it took me to find out how to use the phone in Paralives. While I was figuring out how to move house, I thought maybe I would need the phone for a real estate agent, or to browse the web for available properties. It turns out that I didn't need either of those, but in my frustration I also found that I had no idea how to actually use the phone.

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.

Click on your Para to have them use the phone.

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.
