Who’s calling? Thousands are chasing payphones across Australia

Who knew payphones could be competitive?

Payphone Tag is turning old public phones into a real-world game where players race to claim them, steal them from each other, and score bonus points by capturing three that form a triangle.

What started as a challenge between mates has grown into one of Australia’s quirkiest new pastimes. Creator Alex Allchin explains how it all works with Justin Smith.

And Sienna even called in from a payphone in Caulfield while capturing another nearby one.
