Helpful questions before the game (preparation & strategy)

• How can you ask questions in a way that helps you quickly gather a lot of information about the opponent’s mystery character?
• Which category do you think is most useful to rule out first (e.g., gender, hair colour, accessories like glasses or hats)?
• What could you do if you are unsure about the answer or if the information seems unclear?

Tips for asking questions

• Start with broad questions that eliminate roughly half of the characters (e.g., gender, hair colour, glasses).
• Ask questions that split the remaining options roughly in half. This rules out many possibilities at once.
• Think in opposites. Framing a question to separate two big groups (e.g., “Does my person have short hair?” vs “Does my person have long hair?”) helps narrow the field quickly.
• Pay attention to combinations of features (clothing + hairstyle) to eliminate faster.
• Watch what others are asking. Good example questions from other players can inspire your next move.
• Keep track of answers. Remember what’s already been ruled out so you don’t repeat questions and can combine clues effectively.

Helpful questions during the game (process guidance)

• Which questions have helped you eliminate many characters, and which ones have not been useful?
• Can you try a different strategy to narrow down the possibilities more quickly?
• What do you think another player might ask if they were in your position?
• Can you combine information from multiple answers to rule out additional characters?
