How to play
1See their card
Everyone gets a secret role. You can see the other player’s card, but never your own.
2Ask yes or no questions
Take turns asking yes or no questions about yourself: “Am I an animal?” “Am I famous?”
3Buzz and guess
Think you know who you are? Hit the buzzer and make your guess.
Tips
- → Start wide (“Am I alive?”, “Am I real?”) and only narrow down to names once you know the category.
- → Answer only yes or no. If you’re not sure, say “I don’t know” rather than send the other player the wrong way.
- → Don’t buzz too early. A wrong guess hands the point to the other player.
