Guess Who? Unblocked — Play Free Online

Guess Who? is a browser version of the classic face-guessing duel, played here against the computer. The credits panel in the build names Code This Lab as the developer. You and the CPU each secretly hold one of 24 cartoon characters, and you take turns asking yes-or-no questions until one side has narrowed the opposing board down to a single face.

How a match works

A match starts with the message "Please choose your character to guess!!". You pick one face from your board, and that is the character the CPU will try to work out. The CPU picks its own hidden character at the same time.

On your turn the game says "It's your turn! Choose a question in the box below!". Use the left and right arrow buttons beside the question box to scroll through the list, then confirm the one you want. The game answers for the CPU and flips down every face on the CPU's board that the answer rules out, so you never have to eliminate characters by hand. Each question can be asked only once, because it is removed from your list after use.

Then it is the CPU's turn. A panel shows its question and you reply with the tick or cross button. The game checks your reply against the character you chose; a wrong answer is flagged and you have to answer again, so you cannot bluff. Your own board then flips down the faces the CPU has ruled out.

When only one face is left standing on the CPU's board, you win and the "Congratulations!!!" panel reveals the CPU's character. If the CPU gets your board down to one face first, it is game over and your character is shown.

The 24 characters and the 15 questions

The faces are Chantal, Eric, Alex, Bob, Paul, Frank, Zoe, Joe, Buba, Rita, Rick, Antoine, John, Chap, Evelyn, Lady, Samantha, Jenny, Javier, Evan, Mathias, Michael, Hank and Vito. Sixteen of them are men and eight are women.

The question list covers gender, glasses, moustache, beard, baldness, blonde, black or brown hair, bunny ears, a bandana, a band in the hair, earrings, a tie, a necklace and whether the mouth is open. Some traits are rare: only Eric, Bob and Hank wear bunny ears, and only two characters are asked about by the bandana question.

Scoring

Points come from how much of the CPU's remaining board a single question knocks out. Removing more than 60 percent of the faces still standing shows "Amazing!!!" and adds 100 points, more than 40 percent shows "Great!!" for 40 points, and more than 26 percent shows "Good!" for 10 points. Winning the match adds a further 500 points to the final score.

Tips from the rules

• Early on, ask questions that split the board close to half. A rare trait like bunny ears usually removes only a few faces unless the answer is yes, which earns little and wastes a turn.
• The gender question is lopsided: with sixteen men and eight women, a "no" clears two thirds of the board in one go.
• Keep a rare-trait question for the end, when it can single out the last face from two or three survivors.
• Answer the CPU honestly and quickly; the game will not accept a wrong reply anyway.
