I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING!

Well, I know what you’re thinking! All you need to do is think of
something, anything and answer my questions. You’ll be amazed as
I guess your thoughts and you’re going to need all the help you can
get. That’s why this multi-player 360º dome was created. If I guess
your thoughts within 20 questions or less I win. If not, you win! So,
gather around if you dare to challenge the artificial intelligence of
20Q!

HOW TO PLAY

Although you’ll never beat me, I’ll tell you how to play anyway!

Make sure that the power ON/OFF switch is at the ON position.

ress and hold the NEW GAMEbutton to begin a new game. Once

P
you have started the game, think of something, anything and
answer my questions.

I’ll begin by asking if you’re thinking of an animal, vegetable, miner-

l, other, or unknown. Please press YES or NO to respond to my

a
question. Once this question is answered, game play advances and
I will display the next question.

I’ll ask you a series of questions that should be answered honestly
by pressing the YES, NO, SOMETIMES, RARELY, or UNKNOWN
button. I may try and guess what you’re thinking prior to 20 ques­tions. However, once I’ve guessed, I’ll ask you if I’m correct and you
should respond by pressing the YES or NO button. If you tell me
that I’m correct, I win and the game is over. However, if I’m not cor­rect, I will continue to ask additional questions and then guess
again.

When I guess what you’re thinking, I win! If all my guesses are
wrong, you win. But don’t worry, that will never happen.
