The person guessing can ask any yes or no question they can think of, including questions about size, color, use, etc. For example, if it’s bigger than an elephant, the person might ask “Is it bigger than a plane?”. Then, the person guessing should base their next question on the previous answer. The person who’s thinking of the object will say yes or no, and they’re not allowed to lie. The catch is, you only have 20 yes or no answers! Start broad, by asking things like “Is it bigger than an elephant” or “Is it smaller than a cell phone?”. That person will keep their object a secret, and it’s the other person’s job to guess what they’re thinking of. Try to think of something that’s unusual, like a platypus or a vegetable that doesn’t grow where you live. One person should start by thinking of an object, like an animal, food, or thing.
