Editorial Review

A wonderful blend of deduction with a form of 20 Questions. Two players try to deduce the identity of their opponent's "Mystery Person." Using game boards with 48 frames apiece and an equal number of cards displaying character faces, players ask one another yes or no questions that help narrow the pool of possibilities. Through process of elimination, the identity of the Mystery Person slowly becomes evident. As kids' skill levels grow, their questions become more strategic, allowing them to solve the mystery faster and faster. The faces on the cards are cheerful and clever and designed to give subgroups among the 48 characters just enough similarities to challenge players. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars A better form of twenty questions!, December 6, 2002

This is basically a game of elimination. You ask a yes or no question like Does your person have blond hair? Your opponent answers and so on until one of your identities is discovered. Iknow from that it sounds a little boring. Trust me it's not. I've played this game for hours at a time before. Best of all it helps children to think logically and form relevant questions. A great gift.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, but POORLY EXECUTED !, September 15, 1999

This review is from: Guess Who? Board Game (Toy)

We bought this game 4 or 5 years ago, and were terribly DISAPPOINTED. Here's why: the distribution of characteristics among the suspects is very unbalanced. For instance, out of 48 possible people, only 6 are female. Right there, that makes a "female" round go very quickly. Only a few wear glasses or earrings or hats. For this reason, the game is too simple for any but the youngest players (5-6 year olds); older kids will be bored after one or two rounds. This game could have been exciting and challenging. It would have been great if they had included different faces/cards to allow different challenge levels.

My kids, ages six and ten, love to play this game together. Finding something they both enjoy happens about as frequently as a total eclipse of the sun, so that ought to tell you something right there. The plastic frames are a little flimsy for my taste, but you can play this game even if you are missing a card or two, so I anticipate getting lots of use out of this one.
