What Am I?: Guessing Game Rules
2–12 players
Free, with no login or installation. Each player needs their own phone or computer and an internet connection. Share the room link or six-character code privately. New players can join only in the lobby.
Rules
- The host chooses 2–30 attempts per person (default 15). Each player is assigned a word everyone else can see.
- Take turns asking typed yes-or-no questions or making a guess (120 characters). Your own word remains hidden while you are still playing.
- Anyone other than the guesser can judge: yes, no, usually yes, usually no, cannot say, correct or incorrect. Only the first verdict counts. Each judged question or guess uses one attempt.
- The final attempt must be a guess, judged correct or incorrect. The guesser or host may also pass the challenge.
- After everyone finishes, the person who guessed correctly in the fewest attempts wins. Ties share the win. Questions and verdicts remain in the room’s notes until the game resets or the room expires.
A yes-or-no guessing game
Imagine your hidden word is “cat.” Ask “Am I alive?” and then “Am I often kept as a pet?” before making a guess. Other players judge each question. Both questions and guesses use attempts, so use what you have learned before guessing.
Play together, nearby or online
Each friend joins the same room on their own phone or computer. If you are apart, use your usual voice or video call for discussion; the game does not provide a voice call. Try the solo demo first to learn the controls, then create a room in English and share its invitation link.
Language and privacy
The room language is fixed at creation and applies to every player. Create a new room to change it. Your own text is never automatically translated. Use the general guide for room setup and reconnecting.
