I think we should allow googling on the new games. Then we can go for more obscure questions...
Margo! I'm sure the game will take us everywhere! Hey, girl, stick around!
Tim McGraw
Tug Mc Graw
Sir Thomas More?
Good job on finding the rules, onyxelle!
Mac, I agree with googling on the places game. What do you think of using places like: sauna? Or should we stick to history and geography and well know buildings or monuments?
I just read in my book on TV shows that Twenty Questions used the old parlor game format of animal, vegetable, or mineral (with which I'm not familiar). The panel could ask up to 20 questions to identify the subject at hand. I think they were only allowed one guess for each question, but I'm not sure. Is it animal? would be 1 question. I wish we could find out how many guesses they were allowed.
Fealola: Your idea for "places" is great, but that's one I'll stay away from. I can't even give directions to the city from where I live. (lol) But, you'd probably get loads of players for that game.
Thanks, Onyx. Gonna work out the places game first and see how that goes. Or! You can start the object game!
I think specific places would be better. Otherwise you're into fiction and people's imaginations... could get hard to guess.
I'm going to wait for Osso to weigh in on the 'WHERE AM I" Format then start it.
One of you go ahead and start the object game if you'd like. I'm game! I suggest leaving out people though. If players want people, send 'em here! :wink:
i'll try the places. :-) No the the following:

Good point. But one of the twenty questions could be real or not real just like in this game: Never-Neverland. Oz. hmm. Hmm. So sauna is out but (just theoretically) "Royal Sauna of the Helsinki Baths where King what ever was famously assasinated" (made that up) would be okay?
I like the general, but I think super-specific like that is best saved for something like say....Grant's Tomb. Something commonly known...not a little known fact. you know?
Yes, I think that would work, fealola. Here's another example - you couldn't use "a waterfall" it would have to be "Niagara Falls" or whatever...
