Be careful, it's slightly addictive!

Yeah, that the plan. I'm just surprised people are out there running around the city at midnight on a Friday dialling into payphones for fun

Oh it isn't just your mates? Is there new people doing it? Cool if so.

Yep! Was just mates but now it's spread to be more people I don't know than I do

Walk to a payphone, call my number, enter your PIN, capture it and score points. Other players can steal it and you lose points. Form triangles to hold territory. No app or no account. Covers the whole of Australia. I built it because a friend told me you could buy phone numbers for $2 and I wanted to put mine to use. I had collected the payphone dataset from a previous project (where you call into the payphone) so this was a good fit. Since covid, it's actually free to call out from payphones, so the game is completely free to play

Keen to hear where you bought a number for $2. I'm looking at getting some for Signal bridges for OpenClaw.

Check out CrazyTel in Australia. They're landline numbers though, more expensive for 04x mobiles
