No supplies are needed for this game: only a deductive brain and some creative thinking! To play, the player who is “it” must think of an mystery object, place, or mystery person. Once they have thought of one, the other players guess and must start asking “yes or no” questions to get closer to the answer. At one point or another you should start to narrow down the possibilities.

Examples of questions are:

  • Is it a person?
  • Do you see it in this room?
  • Is it something you can smell?
  • Is it a famous people?
  • Have I met this person?
  • Have you been there?

As you get closer to the answer, you can start guessing. But take care, as guesses also count as one of the 20 questions!

END OF GAME

The objective of this great game is for the other players to correct guess the correct answer of the person, place, or thing within 20 questions and guesses. If they are able to do so, the first person that guessed correctly is “it”.
