How to play Guess Who? (2024 Rules)?

Guess Who? is a game where you try to figure out who your friend’s secret person is by asking yes-or-no questions.

You each have a board with 24 different faces, and you pick one face that’s your secret person. You take turns asking questions like “Do they have glasses?” or “Is their hair short?”. Based on the answers, you can cross off people who don’t match the clues.

It’s like playing detective, you’re trying to find a hidden treasure (your friend’s secret face) by following clues. Every question helps you narrow down the choices, just like when you look for your lost toy and ask, “Is it in the living room?” or “Does it have wheels?”

How You Win

If you guess your friend’s person before they guess yours, you win! It’s like a race, whoever finds the secret person first gets to shout, “I know who it is!” and celebrate.

You can also use special cards to help or trick each other, just like getting a hint from a friend when you’re trying to solve a puzzle.

At the end of the game, everyone cheers because it’s fun, even if you didn’t win!
