Our Editorial Review
Product Description As you know, we are science experts. We have never placed much faith in the mystical babblings of so-called 'telepaths'. Hard fact and empirical evidence are what we need - and this clever device gives you an awful lot of both. Quite simply, 20Q is a wonder of modern science. Using the latest AI technology it is a handheld game that guesses what you're thinking - usually in less than 20 questions (making it a great deal cleverer than some people). But it doesn't do it using basic guesswork or what others might call 'magic'; no, it is powered by the latest in AI (artificial intelligence) technology. Here's how it works:In the best traditions of the classic 'yes/no' parlor game, 20Q asks a series of questions and then, using the AI technology, guesses the object that the player is thinking of. It does this through a neural network of neron-like nodes, mirroring the structure of a simple human brain - no, I'm not referring to you. Please don't be touchy.

20Q Version 2 Posted 18 February 2009
I bought this for my son, he and his friends, (and many adults) have had great fun with this.
Fun toy Posted 11 February 2009
You have to think of an item and it asks you questions that you either answer - yes, no or sometimes. It is supposed to be able to guess after 20 questions but it can carry on if not correctly guessed. During this time it might come up with silly remarks and doesn't always guess correctly. I bought this to help keep the brain active (I wasn't sure what it did at the time) but it was a bit of fun for Christmas. Some found it fascinating, some got obsessed and couldn't put it down and others got fed up with it after a while. If you want a bit of fun for short spells at a time then it is for you. I haven't tried it out on any children but think it might appeal to a child of about 8-10 but then there is a child in most of us.
Clever thing! Posted 09 February 2009
I got my 8 yr old son this for Christmas. Its great - its right I would say about 8 out of 10 times. Kept us all entertained!
challenging toy Posted 08 February 2009
the interesting part is to try to trick the toy so it won't be able to get the word we were thinking of.
but it was surely a nice gift, which left the nephew of 11 years old enthusiasmed. Pitty it's not found in portuguese...
Makes children think and have fun at the same time Posted 06 February 2009
I bought this as a stocking present for my 10 year old daughter and it is constantly delighting her (and us!).
As well as being huge fun and correct about 95% of the time providing you enter the right answers and don't overthink the question (something easily done nowadays with so many options available to us for all sorts of items that you're thinking about) it has made her think about what 'things' are made of and how they function.
She never thought it would get alien, telegraph pole and baby but it did so we spent about 2 hours playing with it trying to catch it out ;-)
Thoroughly entertaining. I can see why someone on here suggested it would be great for taking in the car on a long journey!
