Rules for the game

If it’s your first time playing this classic guessing game, then here’s a quick guide letting you know the important rules for the game.

20 Questions is a guessing game for two or more players. In a two-player game, one player (the question master) will give a secret word that the other player needs to guess in a maximum of 20 questions. The secret word can be anything and is usually a noun.

And the other player has to ask the question master questions that can only be answered with "No" or "Yes." If the other player can guess the secret word within 20 questions, he or she will win; otherwise, the question master will be the winner.

Here’s how to enjoy this fun guessing game with your pals.

Step 2. Tap the Apps icon, which is located on the left of the iMessage text box.

Step 3. Select the option for "GamePigeon."

Step 4. Now you should see a roster of games that GamePigeon has. Scroll down and select the "20 Questions" game.

Step 5. Type in the secret word that you want your friend to guess. Once done, simply tap the blue "Play" button on the top right corner of the screen.

Step 6. Tap the "Send" icon to invite your friend to play the game.

As soon as your friend (the other person) receives the invitation and sends you a question, the game will display four options for you to choose from for your response, including "No," "Yes," "Sometimes," and "You’ve guessed it."

The game continues until your friend either guesses the word correctly or fails to do so within 20 questions.

If your friend guesses your secret word correctly at any time, you need to tap "You’ve guessed it," and the game will end and your friend will become the winner. At the end, the game will automatically let the other person know the answer, so if you cheat, he/she will surely know.

Tips for guessing words in 20 Questions

If you are the other player in the game (the person who has to guess the secret word that the question master has set), then you may find guessing a word without any hints a bit overwhelming. Here are a few simple yet useful tips on how to play 20 Questions on iMessage that can help you find the word a bit easier.

• You can start with common questions such as "Is it alive?" If the question master answers "yes," then you know that it’s not about an inanimate object.
• However, if it's alive, then you can ask common questions like "Is it an animal?" or "Is it a person?" This way, you will have more hints about the word to guess.
• Don’t forget to ask questions revolving around the size, such as "Is it smaller than a wallet?" or "Can it fit in my bag?"
• When you find yourself certain that your guess is correct, you can ask questions such as "Is it a duck?" If the answer is "no," keep guessing.
