Thanks for scanning the code. You’ve just found one of the Call a Stranger phones — a public project designed to spark unexpected conversations between strangers.

📞 What Is This?

Call a Stranger connects two phones placed in public spaces. When someone picks up one phone, it rings the other — instantly connecting two people who may never have met otherwise.

There’s no screen, no app, no profile — just a voice on the other end.

💌 Why?

In cities like New York, we’re surrounded by people but rarely connect. This project is about interrupting that — with something playful, spontaneous, and human.

It’s a small invitation to slow down, say hello, and maybe hear something unexpected.

💬 Not Sure What to Say?

Here are a few easy questions to break the ice:

• Where are you right now?
• What’s something small that made you smile today?
• What would you be doing if you weren’t on this call?
• If you could teleport anywhere for an hour, where would you go?
