Woopie "Guess Who?" is a classic guessing game for two: ask questions to work out which character your opponent has drawn. One game takes about 10–15 minutes.

This Guess Who board game is simple, quick and gripping for children and adults alike. Each player draws a secret character card, then players take turns asking questions such as "Does your character wear glasses?". Characters that do not match the answer are flipped down until only one is left. The set includes two boards – blue and red – with flip-up windows showing characters, cards and instructions. The boards are made of durable plastic with colourful illustrations. The packaging gives the age as 5 and up.

What your child develops

• Logical thinking. Each answer tells you which characters can be ruled out.
• Asking good questions. Children learn to phrase clear yes-or-no questions.
• Observation. Small differences between characters need to be spotted.
• Memory and focus. Players have to remember what they already know.
• Losing well. Short games teach healthy competition.

How to play

Each player sets up their board and draws a secret character card. Take turns asking about appearance: hair colour, hats, glasses. After each answer, flip down the characters that no longer fit. The first to name the opponent's character correctly wins.

With younger children, play together at first and help them word their questions. The game takes little time and space, so it suits a quick round before bed or a trip.

A great gift

"Guess Who?" is a good gift for children aged 5 and up – for a birthday, for Christmas or as a game for siblings to share.
