Objective
Identify the object that everyone has chosen in the room by asking yes or no questions.
Set-Up
No set-up is required
Directions
Two players are Detectives and are sent out of the room. The other players choose an object that the Detectives will try to discover, such as a piece of furniture, a book, or someone’s shoe. The Detectives are called back into the room and try to solve the mystery by asking yes or no questions. Remind them that their question must only be answered with a yes or no; this way the whole group can answer their question at the same time.
Level-Up – Instead of just yes or no questions, each detective is working against the other detective and can ask the other players three questions each in private. They write down their guess of the object after asking every player three questions.
