There is a variant of this game around here, the "Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral" variant, but this one encompasses any subject you want. Surely we all know how to play this game. If not, well it's simple. One person, the "answerer" chooses a subject (object) but does not reveal it. The others, "questioners", ask simple "Yes" or "No" questions e.g. "Is it heavier than a book?" If a "questioner" guesses the subject before 20 questions are asked, they are the new "answerer". If 20 questions are asked without a correct guess, the "answerer" goes for another round.
Rules:
1. An "answerer" must not lie.
2. "Yes" or "No" questions only.
3. Wait for the "answerer" to answer your question before asking a new one.
Edit: 4. If multiple questions have been answered, the answerer must specify which questioner is being answered.
Who wants to start?

Gotta love this one :DD
Lemme start... ask me :p
-
Okay, is it alive?
-
nope
-
Is it something you can physically touch?
-
Yep
-
Is it larger than a shoebox?
-
depends... but in most cases it is bigger than a shoebox :)
-
Is it electrical?
-
You mean that it's something working with electricity? If that's the case, no
-
Is it commonly found in the home?
-
yep!
-
Does it contain pages?
-
nope
-
Is it a item of furniture?
-
nope
-
Is it something you'd use for entertainment?
-
yeah, but it has other possible uses also.
-
Does it make noise (or sounds) as part of its normal use?
-
Yes, it does.
-
Does it have a handle?
-
No.
-
Is it a musical instrument of some kind?

No
-
Double post
-
Is it a ball?
-
Nope
-
Does it have a cuboid shape?

6 guesses remaining btw
-
Stop adding pressure, Ducky! :lol
Is it... a battery-powered radio?
-
Would it be possible to locate one during the 1920s?
-
Sorry :lol:
Answer's no.
-
Is it a musical instrument?
-
Is it a musical instrument of some kind?
Has already been asked before :D
Answer's still 'no'.
-
^No, it hasn't. There are some instruments that would fulfill all the criteria set out before your latest answer.
And upon seeing your latest answer, I give up this round. Anxious to see what other people can come up with.
-
Only four more guesses left. Whew, I thought this game would be easy. I don't know why, seeing as the subject could be anything. :lol
So, it's common in the household, it's not electrical, it varies in size, it's not a piece of furniture, it's not alive, etc. Hmm... Is it made of some sort of fabric?
-
nope (and okay jansenov, I guess I missunderstood your question then, no problem at all)
-
This must be some kind of alien machine never before seen by mankind :huh:
That being said, is it something that's used in the kitchen?
-
Quite commonly, yes, but (hint) it is nothing close to what you guessed above.
-
I think I have a good idea of what it might be.
Is it made of plastic?
-
I'm sorry, it isn't :(
Only one guess left... after that round anyone may be the gamemaster (I don't want to be the gamemaster again :angel)
-
I'm completely stumped. One more question. Is it ... a window? :shrugs:
-
Nope, sorry :( The word was... 'water' :oops It was difficult because it's almost everywhere so also in the kitchen :angel
Anyone may go ahead now :yes
-
Water?! Gah, good one Ducky :lol
I vote Justin to go next, since he had the last guess.
-
^Plus he made this game in the first place :yes
...any subject :lol:
-
This game has so many posts its unwieldy. I've gone back and saw bushwacked and LB&T asked questions one right after the other on page 2, but David only gave one answer. It could be interpreted as him answering either bushwacked or LB&T. That probably led the game astray.
And I indeed asked a question that was asked by rhombus before.
-
In order to avoid any confusion, I will add a rule. If multiple questions have been asked, the answerer must specify which questioner is being answered.
Okay, I have my subject. Start guessing. :goodluck
-
Lets start with the obvious - is it alive?
-
I'll ask another question just to take the new rule for a test drive :p
Is it found inside the house?
-
rhombus: No.
bushwacked: Yes.
-
Is it made out of metal?
-
No.
-
Is it made out of wood?
-
No.
-
Is it made out of glass?
-
No.
15 questions remaining. (adding this so you guys don't have to keep count :))
-
Is it a non-solid?
-
It can be, but in this case I will say "No."
-
Is it an ice-cube?
-
No.
13 questions remaining.
-
Is it some sort of food?
-
No, but sometimes it is eaten despite not being a food item.
-
Is it soap?
-
No.
-
Is it... a candle?
-
Is it medicine?
-
Bushwacked guessed it. It was a candle. :D
It's your turn, bushwacked.
-
Really? Awesome :lol:
Righto, ask away!
-
Who'd eat candles, even by accident? :blink:
Anyway, is it alive? :p

Oh, I just remembered this game :D Anyone wanna play? It's got so many poosibilities :idea
Okay, so I have an object in mind. Try to guess it (read rules, if you haven't played the game so far :yes)
-
I made this game?! :blink: Don't remember that :lol:
Okay, do you encounter this object on a regular basis?
-
rather not so... no :)
-
Can I touch this object?
-
Oh yes yes yes! :lol
-
Is the object a food?
-
nope, nope, nope :)
-
Can this object be found in a regular home?

Not in every household, but that's where it is typically found so I'll say yes :)
-
Is it an appliance?
-
no, it's not :)
-
is it a video game console?
-
is it electrical device?

@Littlefoot fan 90: No, it's not :)
@Snik: No, it's not (although it can be run with electricity, it is typically not)
-
hmm, bump? :unsure:
-
Does it have something to do with pets?
-
No, I'm afraid not. :(
-
Is it a bathtub or something else related with washing oneself up?

It can be build from multiple resources, can be metal, wood or sometimes plastics
-
Is it square-shaped?
-
bump?
-
I'm game. Do you want to continue this current round @Ducky123? Or should we start over?
-
I think I remembered what I had in mind 2 years ago xD
(and I have no idea how I forgot to answer :oops:
it is not square shaped :)
-
Does it have round side?
-
nope :)
-
Can it be commercially produced?
-
Yes
-
Is it used to stand on the surface?
-
I'm not sure what you mean here but it is not something to stand on but something that stands on the floor if that helps.
(I think you're still super clueless, should I provide a hint?)
-
I meant: was that supposed to stand on something, no matter other object, shelf, or floor or ground. It means - that isn't supposed to hang on the wall or from the ceiling. :D
I don't like clues. If you want to give one, please, use spoilers tag. thank you. :)
IS it heavy?
-
On the contrary, is it light?
-
^ah okay, it is standing on the ground. :)
Heavy... it's heavy :P
-
@Ducky123
Is that thing for people amusement?
-
Idk, can't expect me to remember after over a year. Shouldn't have an inactive guy run a game anyway. Feel free to take over :)
-
Bump
I don't know if anyone's still into this game, but I'll play it if anyone's willing.
