Twenty Questions

Indoor games
  • 6–12 years
  • 15 min
  • on the road

One player thinks of an object and the others narrow it down with questions that can only be answered yes or no. Nothing to hold and nothing to spill — it works in a car, on a train or in a queue.

What you need

  • Nothing to carry
  • Fingers to count the questions

How to play

  1. Let one player think of a single object and keep it secret.
  2. Everyone else asks questions that can only be answered with yes or no.
  3. Start wide: is it bigger than a shoe, is it alive, is it here with us?
  4. Count the questions on your fingers — twenty is the limit.
  5. Say the answer out loud as soon as someone is sure.
  6. Whoever guesses right thinks of the next object.
