20Q Game

The blue oval shaped object with a bright red screen did not seem an opponent that I should have any reason to fear, I was human intelligent ( well sort of )self aware with the capacity to think and reason. I would surely triumph against such a puny and somewhat lacking adversary. The seven little buttons on it's smooth shiny surface were no match for such as I, I would undoubtedly be the victor after all he could not possibly know my thoughts, and a mere 20 questions were not going to let a plastic ball shape with some clever electronics get inside my head. I thought long and hard for an object or thing that would have the device puffing smoke ...  Read the complete review

Everyone remembers the classic game of 20 questions. One person thinks of an object and the rest of the people try and guess what it is by asking a series of questions in which the thinker will respond with the answers yes, no or sometimes. The aim of the game is for the guessers to get the object within 20 questions, hence the name 20 questions. Well that's maybe how your grandparents played the game but technology has caught up and here it is......... Electronic 20 Questions!!!!!!!! I came across this item on a frosty Christmas morning (aged 22) when my mum had bought it to pass time during the day and get the family interacting with each other which is ...  Read the complete review

Wow - what a fantastic little game. I first came accross it when I was studying to become a teacher and the maths lecturer (who was obssessed with probability and guesses) brought one in. It's just like the game twenty questions that we have all played as children. Text scrolls across a small screen (which could be a tad bigger) and you press buttons yes/no snd sometimes to answer it's questions. Some of the questions do seem a bit strange at the time, and sometimes you cannot really pick an answer out of the limited choice you have. (A newer version has been brought out with extra answer options on though). After 20 questions the game ...  Read the complete review

I was so impressed when I came across 20Q. As it was cheap.. £2.30, I think.. I didn't expect it to be any good at guessing a word. Before I bought it, I tested it. I thought of a word, an easy word, at first, to test see how clever it was. So, it asked me 20 questions about the word I was thinking. To each you can answer "yes", "no", "sometimes" and "unknown". So, I did this, and in the end it was right. I was quite surprised. So I tried again. Again, it was right. This little round, purple (well, mine's purple) device is smarter than it looks! It can guess really intricate things e.g. Black labrador (!) or ...  Read the complete review

Now this is a fantastic little toy that you can pick up for a couple of quid. It will fascinate you, it will overwhelm you with it's knowledge, it will frustrate, it will outsmart you, out-think you and drive you crazy making you try to think of something that it won't know! That's right! Think of any object, then answer the magic balls questions with yes, no or sometimes and it will always guess the correct answer! Almost always anyway, as I have found out that the toy can sometimes be outsmarted. This is such a simple concept, such a simple idea yet works so effectively, though it is beyond me how they managed to program it with so many ...  Read the complete review
