Rules
Who Am I? in 4 steps
With clever yes-no questions, each player works out who they are. All you need is paper slips, a pen and a group that enjoys a puzzle.
Write down names
Everyone secretly writes a person or character on a slip and sticks it to their neighbour's forehead, without letting them see it.
Ask yes-no questions
In turn, everyone questions the group, for example: am I a real person? On a yes, you get to keep asking.
Guess
When you think you know who you are, you make a guess. If you're right, your character is solved.
Until everyone knows
Play until everyone has guessed their name. Whoever needed the fewest questions wins.
Variations
- Set categories, for example only celebrities, only animals or only film characters.
- With a time limit per person it gets more hectic.
- On a no, it's straight on to the next person, which speeds up the round.
Tips for your round
- Ask broad questions first (real or fictional, male or female) and then narrow it down.
- Remember the others' answers, they often help you too.
