Tips for asking questions
- Start broadly, then narrow down step by step: For example, first ask questions about category (‘Am I an animal?’ or ‘Am I a famous person?’).
- Think in opposites: Ask questions that rule out many options at once (‘Am I tall?’ vs. ‘Am I short?’).
- Look at what others are asking: Sometimes an example question can inspire your own strategy.
- Write down answers: Remember what has already been ruled out so you don’t ask the same questions twice.
Tips for guessing their identity
- Think logically: If something is ruled out, focus on what remains.
- Be patient: It may take a while; sometimes it helps to ask more questions first before guessing.
