Percy Jackson: Why Do Cell Phones Attract Monsters?

Following the first episode of Season 2, titled “I Play Dodgeball with Cannibals,” it’s established that once summer is over and the demigods leave Camp Half-Blood, they can only communicate by writing letters. Percy explains to Annabeth that using phones to call or text isn’t possible because it draws unwanted attention from monsters. This seemingly small detail significantly alters how the characters navigate their lives. They can’t simply call for help or search for information online; instead, they must rely on their wits, adapt to challenges, and, crucially, avoid anything that might signal danger.
