How to play
You already know this game. Here it is anyway.
1
One player thinks of a thing. The other gets up to 20 yes/no questions, then must guess.
2
Four answers are allowed: Yes · No · Sometimes · Unknown 🤷. Answer honestly — the game only works if you do.
3
A guess (“Is it a shih tzu?”) counts as a question. Naming the exact thing — or a fair synonym — wins.
4
Burn all 20 questions without a correct guess and the answerer wins.
5
Secrets come from the public dataset: concrete, commonly-known things. No trick answers. When you answer, your secret must be on the whitelist so games are fair and rated.
