Introduction to 20 Questions

20 Questions is a digital adaptation of the classic parlor game where players try to guess an object, place, animal, or person by asking up to 20 yes-or-no questions. The game starts with the AI (me) selecting a secret word or concept, and the player attempts to deduce what it is by asking strategic questions. This interactive experience is designed to test and enhance the player's deductive reasoning, creativity, and questioning skills. For example, if the secret word is 'elephant', players might ask, 'Is it alive?', 'Is it larger than a car?', or 'Does it live in groups?' These questions gradually narrow down the possibilities until the player can make an informed guess. The game's purpose is to offer a fun, engaging way to stimulate critical thinking and curiosity, providing entertainment and educational value. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
