Customer Review: Almost Makes You Yearn For Long Trips...
Summary: 4 Stars
20Q is the kind of toy I wished I'd when I was growing up. As the youngest kid in my family, games like "20 Questions" on which 20Q is based, were too boring for my older siblings. Although, I finding myself semi-addicted to 20Q when I travel, I think that it's too bad I couldn't ever convince them to play back then. 20Q is really a blast from the past, and it makes you realize how much fun simple games can be. Forget XBox and all that, for slightly more than a cup of Starbuck's coffee (and maybe less the way those prices are going), you can entertain yourself for hours. I have to agree with another reviewer that says losing is more fun that winning. "Scalpel" has been the coolest thing that 20Q has guessed. I've stumped it with both "granola" and "cereal," which it seems convinced ought to be "popcorn," but when I stump it, I usually try to review my answers and see if I boneheaded one of my responses. It asks amazing questions from the basic "is it bigger than a microwave" to the rather complex "is it comforting." With 4 buttons and a simple dot matrix screen, it is amazing how complex and rewarding playing can be. A great stocking stuffer, it is worth getting at least one to pass around instead of rewatching those holiday movie reruns.Customer Review: Addicting and AMAZING! A PEOPLE MAGNET!

This is quite possibly the best $10 I have ever spent ($10 at Target, so buy it there!) I bought it on a whim and lost myself in it for hours. I then showed it to a bunch of teenagers at my church and they shrieked with delight at its ability to discern what you're thinking. My son and I chose "parachute," "fart," "Frisbee," "telephone pole," "chainsaw" and "bellybutton," to name just a few, and it guessed each one. WILD! It's actually no mind reader -- it merely uses the process of elimination to determine what word you've chosen -- but nevertheless, it's so cool and so fun. Its database is HUGE, so go ahead and try -- just TRY -- to stump it! The only time it goes wrong is when it asks you questions that don't help it out enough. For example, when we chose "soldier," it guessed "pirate" and "monster." LOL! ONE SUGGESTION, Radica: I tried to make 20 Q guess ITSELF, ("Is it ME?") but the closest it got was a GameBoy and a Rubic's Cube. So, Radica, I suggest when you manufacture your next batch, you include the toy itself (20Q) as a solution! I LOVE THIS TOY! I will take it to school (I'm a teacher) and use it as a time filler. It is tooo funny. BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!Customer Review: 20 QUESTIONS - A guessing game.
Summary: 5 Stars
'20 QUESTIONS" is a great fun game for kids eight and up. The toy is no bigger then a baseball, very light and it appears to be breakable if dropped. None the less, it is the best game/quiz mystifying mind-boggling toy with an enormous data base I've ever seen. My ten year old daughter thinks it's the best game of its kind. She asked a series of questions and all were guessed. Some of the words that the game guessed were: Snow, Basketball, hamburger, balloon, and leopard. I played it myself and it guessed my word (mirror) right away! The toy can be played in the car in the dark - it has its own light, it's little and light weight for small little hands. Unbelievable entertaining for under $15 dollars. My daughter and her friend played it for hours while I was running some errands around town. They think the ball has a recorder inside, so they whispered the words to each other so that the toy will not guessed it as quickly. I think it's the best toy ever. You will not get bored with it. The only bad thing about playing the toy is the screams of amazement from the girls when the toy guesses their word. I definitely recommend it.Customer Review: Whoa! It got "White Tailed Deer" !!!

A whole bunch of us were stuck on a ship for months at a time, and this ball got us through many a long night. Regardless of what some of the guys thought, I can tell you:
1) It is not evil.
2) I could only stump it on "toilet plunger", "badger", "necklace", "hurricane" and "ball point pen". VERY few others were able to stump it.
3) The battery lasts about 20 hours of play time. Maybe longer. Thankfully it turns off by itself.
4) It got specific things like: "porcupine", "hockey stick", "Siberian Tiger", "lava", and "desktop computer."
5) It CANNOT hear you. We had guys that would write their answer down because they thought it could hear them. (Play it enough and YOU might be thinking the same thing!)
6) EVERYONE will get freaked out by this thing. It still freaks me out when it gets a really specific answer, like "White Tailed Deer."
Take it on the plane with you; I practically guarantee that it will make its way around the plane before you land. It's so addictive!
Customer Review: wow!
