However, to make the game more manageable, players often implicitly work within certain categories. Some common categories include:
* People: Real or fictional people (e.g., "Is it a famous person?").
* Animals: Living creatures, including pets, wild animals, insects (e.g., "Is it a mammal?").
* Places: Locations on Earth or in space (e.g., "Is it a country?").
* Things: Objects, concepts, or ideas (e.g., "Is it a tool?").
* Foods & Drinks: Culinary items (e.g., "Is it a fruit?").
Remember: The categories are not fixed, and the game relies on the players' creativity and imagination to narrow down the possibilities.
Tips for playing 20 Questions:
* Start with broad questions: Ask questions that eliminate large groups of possibilities (e.g., "Is it a living thing?").
* Be specific: As you get closer to the answer, ask more specific questions (e.g., "Is it a mammal with four legs?").
* Avoid questions with multiple answers: Questions like "Is it blue?" may have too many possibilities.
