About 20 Questions
20 Questions is the guessing game everyone can join in. One player thinks of a thing, and the others ask questions out loud that can only be answered with yes, no or maybe. Is it an animal? Can you keep it in your pocket? When someone thinks they know, they guess.
The iPad lies in the middle of the table and keeps track of everything. The person who thought of something taps big Yes, No and Maybe buttons, and the game counts the questions, shows who’s asking and keeps a log of all the answers. You can switch on a timer if you want to speed things up.
If you’re short of an idea, you get three secret idea cards from categories like animals, food, places, characters and nature, and only the chooser can see them. Quick guesses score the most points, and everyone gets a go at choosing a thing.
How to play
- Type in your names, and choose categories, rounds and whether to use a timer.
- Give the iPad to the chooser. Pick one of three idea cards, or think of something yourself.
- Lay the iPad in the middle of the table. The others take turns asking, and the chooser taps Yes, No or Maybe.
- Tap Someone’s guessing! when someone wants to guess. Quick guesses score 3 points, and if nobody gets it, the chooser scores.
