Frequently Asked Questions
How do you play 20 Questions?
The AI Host thinks of something and players ask up to 20 yes-or-no questions to guess what it is. After every 5th question, the Host gives a Hot/Cold warmth rating to hint at how close the group is. Correct guess within 20 questions wins for the players.
What is the Hot/Cold hint rule?
After questions 5, 10, and 15, the Host gives a warmth rating — from 🧊 Ice Cold (totally off track) to 💥 Burning (almost there). It doesn't reveal the answer but tells the group whether their overall thinking is heading in the right direction.
Can the AI play 20 Questions with me solo?
Yes! The AI Host acts as the Thinker by default, choosing something for you to guess. You can play solo or with friends — the Host handles everything.
What categories work best for 20 Questions?
Animals, famous people, movies, and everyday objects make great choices. The AI host can suggest categories and keep the game moving.
Is there a time limit in 20 Questions?
No strict time limit, but you're limited to 20 questions per round. You can ask the AI host to set a time limit per question for extra pressure.
