Guess Who?: the board game where every question costs you a turn
Guess Who? is one of those tabletop games that most people learned before they could read the rulebook. Two boards, twenty-four faces on each, and a secret character in front of you. The whole game is the question you ask next. In this browser version you click a face to make it your secret character, then take turns with the computer. You pick a question from the box at the bottom, and the game drops every face the answer rules out. The computer then asks you a question, and you answer yes or no.
There is more strategy in it than the box suggests. A question that splits the remaining faces in half is worth more than one that only removes two, and the counting gets tense in the last few turns when both sides are down to three or four faces. The build on guesswho.lol is an HTML5 game by Code This Lab that runs in this page with no download or account. If you came for the game you played as a kid, the idea is the same; if you never played it, a round takes a few minutes and teaches itself.
Controls & mechanics
| Action | Control | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Pick your character | Click a face | At the start of the round; that face becomes your secret |
| Ask a question | Left and right arrows, then OK | Choose one of the 15 questions; one per turn, each used once |
| Eliminate | Automatic | The game darkens every face the answer rules out |
| Answer the computer | Yes or no button | Must be the true answer for your character; a wrong one is refused |
Winning at Guess Who? more often
- Ask about the trait that splits the board: Count before you ask. A trait held by roughly half the remaining faces removes the most cards whatever the answer; a rare trait is a gamble that usually wastes the turn.
- Watch the corner board: The small grid in the bottom right shows which of your faces the computer has ruled out, so you always know how close it is to finding you.
- Do not waste a question: There is no guess button: you win when one face is left. A question about a trait no remaining face has, or every remaining face has, removes nothing and hands the computer a free turn.
Key features
- You against the computer: The computer asks its own questions and keeps its own board of your faces.
- The full board: Twenty-four named cartoon characters, each tagged with traits such as glasses, earrings, hair colour, facial hair and bunny ears.
- A score for good questions: Big cuts earn GOOD, GREAT or AMAZING bonus points, and a win adds 500.

Pro tip: The traits are not evenly spread. Bandanas, beards and bunny ears are on only two or three faces, so a 'yes' nearly wins the round, but a 'no' removes almost nothing. Earrings (11 of 24 faces) and glasses (9 of 24) split the full board most evenly, so open with one of those and save the rare traits for when a 'yes' would leave exactly one face.
Frequently asked questions
Is Guess Who unblocked at school?
Guess Who runs in an ordinary browser tab from guesswho.lol, with nothing to download or install, so it plays on most school Chromebooks and work computers. If a network filter blocks the site, only that network's administrator can change it.
What is Guess Who?
A deduction game in the style of the classic board game. You and the computer each have a secret character from a board of twenty-four faces and take turns asking yes-or-no questions. Whoever narrows the other side down to one face first wins.
Can I play Guess Who? against the computer?
Yes, and only against the computer: this version has no two-player mode. The computer asks its own questions, you answer yes or no, and a small board in the corner shows which of your faces it has ruled out.
Is it free?
Yes. Guess Who? plays free in your browser on guesswho.lol with no download, no account and no time limit.
Does it work on a phone?
It is an HTML5 game and runs in any modern browser, with touch support. The screen is laid out in landscape, so turn a phone sideways; a tablet or laptop gives more room for the board.
What questions can I ask?
The game offers a fixed list of 15 questions: male, glasses, moustache, beard, bald, blonde, black or brown hair, bunny ears, bandana, hair band, earrings, tie, necklace and mouth open. Each can be asked once per round.
