21 Questions Game

How to play

In 21 questions, two people take turns finding out more about each other. It isn't the guessing game with yes-or-no questions and a secret word. Here one player asks, the other answers every question honestly, and after 21 cards you switch.

1. Choose one player to answer this round and one to ask.
2. Pick a topic, or stay on All. The card counts the questions up to 21.
3. The asker reads each card out loud and the answerer tells the truth. Each player may pass on one question per round.
4. Press Next for the next card, or swipe the card on a phone.
5. After question 21, swap roles and press New round for a fresh shuffle.

Controls

• Topic buttons: All, Funny, Friends, Getting to know you, Family, Deep, Food, School and Dream life. Picking one starts a new round.
• Next and Back move between cards. On a phone, swipe left for the next one.
• New round reshuffles and starts again at question 1. On the last card, Next becomes New round.
• Play with friends lets you Add 2 to 12 names, and each card then says who answers it.
• Dream life cards add a Play that life in LifeSim link, which opens in a new tab.

Tips

• Meeting someone new? Start with Getting to know you, then move to Deep once you're both comfortable.
• Bigger group? Pick one asker per round and let everyone answer each card. When the round ends, the asker role moves to the next person.
• Ask a follow-up when an answer surprises you. One card can easily turn into a long story, and that's the point.
• Want the answering to rotate instead? Add everyone's names under Play with friends and each card will name the next person in turn.
• Keep your one pass for a question that feels too personal. Everything else gets an answer, even if it's one word.
