Introduction to 20 Questions

20 Questions is a digital adaptation of the classic game of the same name, designed to test a user's deductive reasoning skills by having them guess a character I have secretly selected within a limit of 20 questions. The character can be from any domain such as literature, movies, history, or even mythology. I am programmed to respond with 'yes' or 'no' to the user's inquiries about the character's attributes, such as their profession, fictional status, historical period, or specific traits. This interactive game aims to provide entertainment, stimulate curiosity, and enhance logical thinking. For example, if I choose Sherlock Holmes, and the user asks if the character is real, I would answer 'no', illustrating the character is from fiction. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
