GETTING STARTED
To start, turn the unit on using the ON/OFF switch on the bottom of the electronic game board. When prompted, press the YES Button to start a new game. Each PLAYER will need to press their ENTER Button to indicate they are playing. 20Q™ will confirm the number of players is correct. Once established, 20Q™ will randomly select a PLAYER to be the DEALER. 20Q™ will ask the DEALER if he/she is ready. Press YES to confirm everyone is ready. If 20Q™ does not have the correct number of players, press NO to go back and select the correct number of PLAYERS.
Note: The DEALER is playing with 20Q™ and collects a 20Q™ CARD only if 20Q™ guesses the correct TARGET OBJECT first. So, it is important and to the DEALERS advantage to answer the questions correctly.
takes turns, rotating the electronic game board in a clockwise direction so the player can read the question on the display. The 20Q A.I. will scroll two questions scross the LCD screen. PLAYERS will use the “A” or “B” buttons to select the question they wish the DEALER to answer. Once the question is selected, the DEALER will answer the question “YES”, “NO”, or “SOMETIMES”.
NOTE: After each question is asked and answered the 20Q™ electronic game board must be rotated clockwise and locked into position before the next player will be allowed to select their question.
During game play, it is recommended that each PLAYER take notes. This will help each PLAYER keep track of questions and answers to identify and eliminate potential TARGET OBJECTS.
At any point in the game, a PLAYER can press the GUESS Button to guess the potential TARGET OBJECT. Also, the DEALER can press the GUESS Button at any time to force 20Q™ to make a guess.
If the PLAYER, including 20Q™ representing the DEALER, guesses incorrectly, gameplay continues and the incorrect guesser is out of the game. If all PLAYERS, including 20Q™, have guessed incorrectly prior to question 20, all PLAYERS will be brought back into the game to continue playing. Once this happens, PLAYERS, including the DEALER, can press the GUESS Button at any time to make a second guess.
This process continues throughout the twenty questions.
