Editorial Review

While it’s true that you probably haven’t been spending your life silently pining for a chance to play 20 Questions against the detached head of R2D2, this toy, which more or less simulates that experience, provides that opportunity. The premise is pretty simple: think of something and then answer the machine’s various questions using buttons marked "yes", "no", "sometimes", and "unknown". A floating display inside the domed top of the toy and an "undo" button provide some added appeal but it’s really the same old game of 20 Questions you’ve been playing for years. While it would appear that the human would have an advantage in this contest and that a machine couldn’t deduce the right answer with yes or no questions, we found ourselves losing the game an unsettling amount of the time. --Charlie Williams

I must live in outer space because I NEVER heard of this toy before! I was doing that half-browsing/half-buying, should-I-buy-now, should-I-wait, pre-santa, toy store thing most of us start every November when I spied this. My #2 son has a birthday on November 19th so I was desperate for a present for my parents to give...don't you love it?

SENSATIONAL TOY! It has been the focus of the entire family all weekend! Santa better have bagfulls of these when the word gets out!

You think of something, anything...the "toy" asks you general questions about what you are thinking about in an attempt to narrow your subject down. The questions, (which are easy to read) "appear in the orb". You answer the questions using the buttons on the toy...YES NO, etc. The toy will guess what you are thinking in 20 questions...(if you answer it's questions honestly). My boys spent the weekend attempting to stump the toy. We grown-ups spent the weekend amazed at all that is in this toy's database!

Purchasing this has eliminated the pressure of what-to-get several adults on my list, as well as a number of the kids.

Great "thought provoker"...and FANTASTIC for family "table time" after dinner. We brought our dishes into the kitchen and had our dessert and coffee WITH the children there (for a change) with this in the center of the table. We ended up dividing in pairs and trying to "stump" the toy. Some of the things we were thinking of were silly and we ended up laughing like fools at the questions and the possibilities of the answers.

This is a MUST HAVE game this Christmas! Snag this one early! I have a feeling it will be hard to get. Toys-R-Us has a great deal now where you can get a free hand held version which is just as much fun!

Fantastic grandparent gift for family! Fantastic gift for that difficult to buy for 9-20 age range! Perfect sit down interactive Mommy/Daddy and Me time for early readers. My second grader LOVES to sit with me and I help him read the questions.

Definitely NOT a wasted purchase!

My daughter has had this a few months and the whole family loves it. Everyone we show it to wants it. It is amazing that a toy can guess (at least 80% of the time) what you are thinking. We have the table version (this one) and the handheld. We like the big one best and end up taking it with us on trips. Great toy that will give you endless fun.
