About this model
A grey public payphone with a black handset, keypad and coin slot in a steel housing. It looks like an old street or station phone. It is about 1.5 ft wide, a foot deep and 2.5 ft tall. The steel casing is scratched and a little dirty. It works best on a wall at a station, a motel or a street corner. A ringing phone with no one else around is a reliable way to start an adventure, and the handset dangling from its cord says someone left in a hurry.
Mount it on walls in stations, bars, motels and streets. It is a story prop, perfect for anonymous calls and messages. It is a classic place for a handler to contact the party.
Ideas for the table
- The payphone rings as the party walks past.
- A coded message is scratched into the payphone casing.
- The killer made the call from this phone, and the coins inside hold fingerprints.
