Toys and Games Reviews of Guess Who? Board Game
Customer Review: Beats "Gameboy" on the road big time!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Guess Who" has a lot more going for it than the ubiquitous Gameboys. For one thing, you actually have to TALK to your opponent to play this game. For another, you develop questioning skills in order to "one-up" your opponent next time. Most of all, there are no levels that get beat, thus requiring purchase of yet another game cartridge!My boys have passed many an hour on the road playing this game, and it has inspired many a creative effort on their parts to try and come out on top. Sometimes they go for most obscure clue, others, the quickest round. I have also used the game with students who are cognitively delayed to teach questioning, and language disabled kids to help them focus on pertinent information. Of course, they are simply told we will be playing a game. Heaven forbid that they might learn something!
This game has been a classic for years with good reason--it appeals to many on many levels. I will never forget the first night our two boys were in separate rooms across the hall from each other--playing "Guess Who" through their walkie-talkies!
Customer Review: Newer isn't always better...look for the 1998 version.
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm an educational therapist, and had borrowed another therapist's "Guess Who?" game to use with students. I found it to be great for students who need work on visual discrimination, and it builds categorizing skills and other thinking skills. The game I borrowed had a copyright date of 1998. I found this game so useful that I decided to buy it for myself, but, though Amazon.com pictures the 1998 version, I got a newer, but not improved, version. The only improvement is that it comes in a smaller box, so it's more portable. My main complaint is that the drawings of the faces are very simplistic, and lacking in any character, in contrast to the very detailed faces of the original game, which actually exude personality. In addition, though it looks as though Milton Bradley tried to show a little more cultural diversity than in the original game, they still aren't representing genders equally; still only one fourth of the characters are female. Finally, the "deck" of face cards is not a real deck this time, but small rectangles that you have to punch out from a card.Customer Review: superb game for all ages

me and my girlfriend love to play this game, we are 20 years old. its just a great way to get to know your partner. its not competitive. its jsut an all around fun time.
we love to play with everyone we know, and we sometimes bend the rules a little of just change it up you know make it a little different. but the OG way of playing is always great too.
I love to look at maria she is by far the best looking lady in the game. does anyone else think maria is by far the most attractive one in the game? and we lost alfred im so mad cuz he is the uglest one in the game and i wanted to guess alfred sometimes...
but overall this is a great game, and the only reason on amzon was to possibly get more versions of this amazing game. but after reading all 100 reviews i think that the old version is the best. has anyone tryed any other variations that have been great as well?
overall A++++++++ probablly about 900% fun.

Customer Review: Fun but fragile
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the Guess Who game and I bought it for my three-year old (almost four-year-old). I wish the game were a little more durable and easy for his fingers (the doors close too easily when touched, so he often closes 3 doors when he means to close one). The concepts that the game teaches are age-appropriate (characteristics, colours, simple reasoning by elimination), but the plastic construction might not stand up to his attentions.
Here's how to play with a four year old: Instead of taking turns, decide who has the secret character identity, and the other player asks all the questions until the secret identity is guessed. If the parent or older player has the secret identity they can suggest hints. Start with the blatant hints that also explain how to use the board, like "My character is wearing a hat, so you can close all the doors where there is no hat!" If the child has the secret identity, then the parent or older player can simply ask questions.
Customer Review: I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

I was so glad when my little sister got this game for her birthday! Unfortunaty our version wasn't like the version I had when I was young. For some reason the people stand didn't open or close very well. So while for some you could smack down, others you had to jiggle and wiggle to get to lay flat. Not only that but when we would start a new game, you're soppose to be able to just flip the board over and all the stands would flip out. Well for the red board they didn't flip so well, in fact only a few would flip up with out help. That could have been my fault when I put the pieces together.
The game was still fun, althought it was hard teaching my six year old sister not to exclaim out loud that she's glad of who she got because she likes her hat. Although I didn't have a problem with her picking her person instead of doing it randomly,(like you're soppose too) I still love this game and forever will.
