NEW GAME
LET’S BEGIN
Although you won’t win, I’ll tell you how to play
anyway!
Press the ON button to turn the unit on or to wake
the unit from SLEEP MODE. To start a new game,
press and hold the NEW GAME button until the
current game clears, and then I will ask if you are
READY to play. If you’re ready, press the YES
button and think of any thing OR look at one of the
ten picture cards for help.
Once you think or choose an object, I will ask you a
series of five questions that begins with “Is it... Animal?...Vegetable?...Mineral...Other, or Unknown?”
Use the LEFT SCROLL and RIGHT SCROLL buttons
to toggle between the options. When making your
selection, keep in mind that Animal, Vegetable and
Mineral each has a broader meaning. Consider the
object you have selected and think of its primary
substance. For example, if you are thinking about a
“wool sweater,” you should say, “Animal,” because
it’s made of wool, which comes from sheep, which
are animals. You should answer “Mineral” for an
“arrow” because most of its par ts are made of metal
and “Vegetable” for a “T-shirt,” because it’s made of
cotton, which is a plant.
There are two ways to select among the first five
options (Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Other or Unknown). First, you can answer each question with
YES or NO as I advance to the next question. Or,
you can toggle between these five options by pressing the LEF T SCROLL or RIGHT SCROLL buttons to
identify the option that is correct and answer YES.
When I ask the remaining questions, answer honestly by pressing one of the answer buttons ( YES,
NO, SOMETIMES, UNKNOWN). If you answered
a question incorrectly, press the UNDO button
to return to the prior question. I will try to guess
what you are thinking before I have asked twenty
questions. However, if I ask you a total of twenty
questions, I will stop and try to guess what you’re
thinking. If I guess correctly, press the YES button.
If for some strange reason I guess incorrectly, I will
ask you five more questions, then guess again.
When I guess what you are thinking, I win! If all
my guesses are wrong, you win. But don’t worry,
that will never happen.
Good luck! You’re going to need it!
