Who Am I? Free online guess the character game

Who Am I? is a free guess-the-character game, like Guess Who?, that you play in your phone or computer browser with nothing to download. Each player has a secret character from a board of 24 faces, and the first to work out the other’s character with yes-or-no questions wins.

How to play

  • At the start you get a secret character, shown on your card. Your opponent has another one, and you have to guess it.
  • On your turn, tap Ask and pick a question from the list: “Do they wear glasses?”, “Do they have red hair?”, “Do they wear a hat?”… The game answers truthfully on its own, so nobody can lie.
  • Cards that don’t match the answer flip down. It can happen automatically or you can flip them by hand (in the settings).
  • When you’re sure, tap Guess and pick the card. Get it right and you win; get it wrong and that card flips down and you lose your turn.

Against the computer or 2 players

  • Easy: the computer asks at random. Perfect for learning and for playing with kids.
  • Medium: it asks good questions.
  • Hard: it always picks the question that rules out the most characters. Can you beat it?
  • 2 players: on the same phone or tablet. Between turns a screen lets you pass the device without seeing the other player’s board.

Tips to win

The best questions split the board in half: if 12 characters are left and 6 wear glasses, asking about glasses rules out 6 for sure. If you get stuck, the hint tells you the best question and flips down any cards you missed (one free per game). Your game saves itself and you can check your statistics.
