New Version now in stock!This all-new version is even smarter, more accurate and features a fantastic new 'undo' button! 
To play 20Q, think of something, anything, then answer a series of up to 20 questions. 20Q asks the questions via an LED display and you answer by pressing the 'yes,' 'no' or 'maybe' buttons. By asking questions that seem completely irrelevant ("Is it flat?" and "Is it heavier than a pound of butter?") 20Q somehow works out what you're thinking. To add to the fun and games 20Q will sometimes stop to taunt you, displaying messages such as "You can't beat me" or "You thought you were tricky. After 20 questions it should be able to name the object, although if it guesses incorrectly it will ask five more questions and take a second guess before admitting defeat. (So far we've only managed to stump it with obscenities). 20Q is remarkably smart - we thought of the word "Firebox" (clever, eh?) on our first try, and it came up with "Hotbox" within about fifteen questions. An amazing feat when you consider the fact Firebox is not (yet) in the dictionary. 20Q is a totally portable plaything and it's guaranteed to get jaws dropping to the floor in amazement. We guess, no, we know you'll be amazed!

"Hours of fun." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"It's astonishingly impressive." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"You'll never be bored again." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"It's as fun trying to outwit it as it is watching a friend scream with rage when they get beaten. Bliss." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Does it work? All too well. It gets it all the time... To make matters worse it gloats!" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Impossible!" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"A Satsuma sized marvel!" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"...you'll find 20Q is spookily clever at getting it right." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"...is - and I promise I'm not pretending - one of the greatest gadgets I have ever, ever stumbled upon." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"A toy that can really read your mind" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I teach children to read and spell. I’ve used 20Q to encourage children to read, as a reward for children who find concentration and motivation a struggle, and also to help children understand the importance of not to be afraid of asking questions. This works especially well with children who are struggling with a subject because they are scared of asking a question incase they appear stupid in front of their peers. 20Q is recommended for children 8+ years, however, I have used it with children as young as 6 with supervision. There are two buttons either side of the screen to speed up or slow down the writing as it scrolls across the screen, a useful feature for children who are learning to read. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
An absolutely amazing product. I ordered mine only yesterday and it arrived this morning. It's a great thing to use with friends, and it doesn't usually get things wrong. Would recommend to someone with a lot of spare time =P. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This always amazes me. After 20 questions, you think there's no chance it will guess it after the obscure questions it's asked, but it does! Can be played in twos as well (where one person asks the qs, the other answers them). If you buy as a gift, you can play with it yourself without taking it out the packaging! Hours and hours of fun! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Amazing: cant beat it! I've tried vampire, snowman, pie, watch, dinosaur and it guessed them all. Did my dog and it even had the breed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This thing is evil. I even tried Pikachu to try and stump it, but...seriously, how on EARTH did it do that?? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I've no idea how this thing works but it works 9 out of 10 times. I thought I would have stumped it with 'bulb filament' but no, it even guessed itself '20 Q (pocket game)'. A must buy. Thanks for the free sweets firebox! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I thought these would be awesome. But I'm extremely grumpy that it didn't guess my thought right!! It's probably because I'm just too damn random, it works for my dad and my mum and brothers, but it doesn't seem to like me... Awesome ball, we pass it round the car when we're bored.
(And if your wondering why I'm submitting so many reviews, I'm just bored, so I'm finding lots of things I own on this site and reviewing them haha!). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Having a 20Q makes me feel stupid; also, when it answers wrong, I feel super smart! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Maybe one day I will be this clever, but then again I probably won't. This really is unbelievable, it can guess a mouse by asking random questions such as "is it heavier than a pound of butter?" It really is astounding. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This thing is great. It guesses what you are thinking of by asking random questions. How on earth did it guess a Bat by asking things like Can it fit in an envelope, and Is it smaller than a microwave oven. It didn't even ask if it had wings. In a word, Astounding | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
