Guess Who? is a two-player board game in which both players have an identical board filled with illustrated faces of different characters. Each player secretly chooses one character as their mystery person. The goal is to be the first to guess which character the opponent has chosen by asking smart yes/no questions and eliminating possibilities.

How to play – brief game rules

Setup:

• Each player sets up their own board with all the face cards standing upright.
• Both players draw a card from a separate pile or secretly choose one character to be their mystery person; this card is kept hidden from the opponent.

How to play:

• Players take turns asking yes/no questions about the opponent’s mystery person, such as: “Does your person wear glasses?”, “Is it a man?”, “Do they have a hat?”
• Based on the answer (yes or no), the player flips down all characters on their board that do not match the answer, narrowing the possibilities.
• You may continue asking questions until you want to make a guess.

Guessing and winning:

• When you think you know your opponent’s mystery person, you can make a guess. If you guess correctly, you win the game. If you guess incorrectly, you usually lose immediately (depending on the edition, but this is the standard rule).
