OBJECT.

DEALER

mistakenly select or answer a question
incorrectly.

Button once per round.

ROLES/FUNCTIONS

DEALER – 20Q™ randomly selects the DEALER
at the beginning of each round. The

DEALER

takes two

20Q™ CARDS and selects an object

from the cards. This is the

TARGET OBJECT

that the other 1-3

PLAYER ( S ) are trying to guess.

PLAYER ( S ) – The 1-3 person (s) who are trying to
guess which

TARGET OBJECT the DEALER has

selected from the

20Q™ CARDS.

20Q™ CARDS – The game includes 50 playing
cards that contain 20

TARGET OBJECTS on

each card.

20Q™ CARDS “+2” – These 5 cards should
be randomly shuffled throughout the deck and
played the same way as the standard

20Q™

CARDS. If a “+2” card is drawn at the beginning
of a round, the

PLAYER who correctly guesses

the

TARGET OBJECT receives both cards on the

table.

TARGET OBJECTS – The 20 items on each of
the 50

20Q™ CARDS.

GETTING STARTED

To start, turn the unit on using the

ON/OFF

switch on the bottom of the electronic game
board. When prompted, press the

YES Button

to start a new game. Each

PLAYER will need

to press their

ENTER Button to indicate they

are playing. 20Q™ will confirm the number of
players is correct. Once established, 20Q™ will
randomly select a

PLAYER to be the DEALER.

20Q™ will ask the

DEALER if he/she is ready.

Press

YES to confirm everyone is ready. If 20Q™

does not have the correct number of players,
press

NO to go back and select the correct

number of

PLAYERS.

Note: The

DEALER is playing with 20Q™ and

collects a

20Q™ CARD only if 20Q™ guesses

the correct

TARGET OBJECT first. So, it is

important and to the

DEALERS advantage to

answer the questions correctly.

Are you ready for the first multiplayer version

of 20Q™? This transformation of the classic

handheld game fires up friends and family as

you go head-to-head with 20Q™ and the other

players. The first player to outwit 20Q™ and the

other players wins! Sound easy? Guess again.

BASIC GAME RULES

Up to 4 friends and family

PLAYERS will try to

outwit

20Q™. The DEALER selects two 20Q™

CARDS and chooses an object from one of the
cards. The 20Q A.I. asks questions and reads the
DEALER’S mind. The first PLAYER to guess the
DEALER’S TARGET OBJECT keeps the 20Q™
CARD. The first PLAYER to collect three 20Q™
CARDS wins!

HOW TO PLAY

Once the

DEALER is selected by 20Q™, the

DEALER should pull two 20Q™ CARDS from
the deck. The

DEALER selects one of the 40

TARGET OBJECTS and writes it down on a
piece of paper and turns it over. The

DEALER

should not allow the other

PLAYERS to see what

he/she has selected. The

20Q™ CARDS will

then be placed face up so the other 1-3 potential
PLAYERS can view the TARGET OBJECTS on
each card.

20Q™ will first ask the

DEALER if the TARGET

OBJECT is an “ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL
or OTHER” – the

DEALER answers “YES” or

“NO” to each question and then announces
which category the

TARGET OBJECT falls under

to the other

PLAYERS.

With a total of twenty questions, each

PLAYER

takes turns, rotating the electronic game board in
a clockwise direction so the player can read the
question on the display. The 20Q A.I. will scroll
two questions scross the LCD screen.

PLAYERS

will use the “

A” or “B” buttons to select the

question they wish the

DEALER to answer. Once

the question is selected, the

DEALER will answer

the question

“YES”, “NO”, or “SOMETIMES”.

NOTE: After each question is asked and
answered the 20Q™ electronic game board must
be rotated clockwise and locked into position
before the next player will be allowed to select
their question.

During game play, it is recommended that each
PLAYER take notes. This will help each PLAYER
keep track of questions and answers to identify
and eliminate potential

TARGET OBJECTS.

At any point in the game, a

PLAYER can press

the

GUESS Button to guess the potential

TARGET OBJECT. Also, the DEALER can press
the

GUESS Button at any time to force 20Q™ to

make a guess.

If the

PLAYER, including 20Q™ representing

the

DEALER, guesses incorrectly, gameplay

continues and the incorrect guesser is out of
the game. If all

PLAYERS, including 20Q™,

have guessed incorrectly prior to question 20, all
PLAYERS will be brought back into the game to
continue playing. Once this happens,

PLAYERS,

including the

DEALER, can press the GUESS

Button at any time to make a second guess.
This process continues throughout the twenty
questions.
