Can Akinator read your mind?Apps
Above: Akinator is a fun experience that
can frustrate and amuse in equal measure
Right: Closed questions can make the game
take a while or surprise you very quickly
Akinator is a game that is perfectly suited to a voice platform
because all you need to do is answer a set of questions by simply
saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The closed questions that are used will feel
familiar from the start because most people will have played the
game in the past, but the idea behind Akinator is to surprise you by
mimicking the idea of mind reading and by guessing who you are
thinking of much earlier than you would expect. No matter who
or what character you are thinking of, the game uses a set of clever
questions to try to narrow down the answer in ever decreasing
segments until it can safely guess who you are thinking of.
Think of a name...
Technically, this is not ingenious, but a huge amount of variety
has had to be programmed in to make the game worth playing
multiple times and you will find that there is just enough
