I recently received this as a present, and ever cynical as I am, decided to see if I could crack this “guess what I’m thinking” game. I was convinced that Nuclear Submarine would be enough to confuse it, but it got it!
Pretty much 90% of the things I was thinking of, it managed to guess after the second attempt. The remainder predominantly being items of a more adult-nature which I wouldn’t imagine to be included in a kids/family toy!
With regards to educational value, the 20Q ball forces the user to think about the item they are thinking of, and whether it qualifies for the statement it is asking. For instance, is a Nuclear Submarine round? Does it float? Is Plutonium smooth, etc.
This is a perfect present for Xmas, as the whole family can get involved and come up with items for the 20Q to guess. It will also cause unexpected laughter when the ball suggests it’s first answer, which is usually far-removed from the item you are thinking of! It’s cheap enough to warrant itself being a stocking filler, but what a stocking filler it is!

This really is the toy this Christmas/ New Year! I was thinking of a pig… it’s like it snatched the answer out of my head! It’s a really great toy and it kept me and my friends amused for agggggeeeessss! I love it!
It’s such a great price too as it’s adults and kids it entertains!
I really recommend it!
Thanks for reading

Think of an item , even something obscure, keep it to yourself, and after questioning somehow this little tecno brain thing normally manages to come up with the right answer, presumably by some process of elimination. Ok, so I’m easily impressed, but for such a low priced gadget it is quite remarkable. Looks well made too. It will keep children and adults amused for ages and beats I spy hands down in the car. I can thoroughly recommend this fun toy.

This would be a good stocking filler for the person who is hard to buy for! I bought one for my 9 year old last Christmas and we are all still picking it up and being amazed at how well it guesses the most obscure things, such as a race horse! A great low price gift, and good for long car journeys too.

I’ve bought a few version 1s for my friends and been amazed at the accuracy of 20Q, but don’t like version 2 at all. The questions are far less specific , logical and clever – when I was thinking of a coin it asked if it was shiny and then does it shine. It’s just not as good at guessing as V1.
