20 Questions
20 Questions: whoever opens it is the keeper. The keeper types something in secret, and everyone else asks yes-or-no questions out loud until someone guesses.
How to start
- In a game room: tap "New table" and choose 20 Questions. In a regular room, whoever manages the game starts it.
- Whoever opens it is the keeper: types a secret thing (up to 40 characters) and does not guess.
- Anyone in the room joins as a player.
How to play
- The others ask out loud, and the keeper taps "Yes", "No" or "Not relevant".
- Every "Yes" or "No" uses up one of the 20 questions; "Not relevant" does not.
- Whoever thinks they know taps "I know it!" and says their guess out loud.
- The keeper taps "Correct!" — and the guesser gets points: the questions left plus 5. Or "No" — and the guesser is out of the round and returns in the next round.
How the game ends
| A correct guess | The guesser wins the round |
|---|---|
| The 20 questions run out | The keeper wins the round, and the thing is revealed |
| 10 minutes with no action at all | The game closes by itself |
What you choose at the start
At every "New round", the next keeper is whoever won the round.
In the room
- The game runs out loud in the room: ask, answer and guess out loud.
- Anyone in the room can join, up to 30 participants.
