Twenty Questions

Playing 20 Questions is a fun and interactive game that can make car journeys more entertaining. The game requires someone to choose something. After it has been determined whether the item is an animal, a vegetable, or a mineral, the players then have 20 turns to ask yes or no questions to determine the object.

Big DogHow to play:

  1. Choose a Questioner: One player is designated as the questioner and thinks of an object, person, or place. They keep their selection secret from the other players.
  2. Start the Game: The questioner announces to the other players that they have thought of something and provides a category to narrow down the possibilities. For example, "I'm thinking of an animal."
  3. Ask Yes or No Questions: The other players take turns asking yes or no questions to gather clues about the chosen object. For example, "Is it a mammal?" or "Does it live in the ocean?"
  4. Limit Questions: Set a limit for the number of questions allowed (usually 20 questions, as per the name of the game) to keep the game moving along.
  5. Guess the Object: After asking up to 20 questions, the players can make a guess at what the chosen object might be. If they guess correctly, they win. If not, the questioner reveals the answer and the game starts again with a new questioner.
  6. Rotate Roles: After each round, rotate the role of the questioner so that everyone has a chance to think of an object and ask questions.
  7. Enjoy the Game: Remember that the goal of 20 Questions is to have fun and engage in a guessing game that encourages critical thinking and deductive reasoning.
