Questions

What are the rules of 21 questions?

Two players take turns. The asker asks 21 questions, and the answerer has to answer each one honestly. After 21, the players swap roles. In this version, each player can skip one question per round.

Is 21 questions the same as twenty questions?

No. Twenty questions is a guessing game: one player thinks of a thing, and the others ask yes or no questions to find it. 21 questions is a game to get to know someone, with open questions.

Can more than two people play?

Yes. The asker reads each question to the whole group, and everyone answers. Then the next player becomes the asker for a new round.

Are these questions okay for teens?

Yes. Every question is clean and friendly, with nothing romantic. The Getting to know you category is made for someone you just met.

Can I play 21 questions over text?

Yes. Copy the link to a card and send it. The link opens the same round on their phone, at the same question.
