Clever Stuff!! . At first, I didn't believe that 20Q could really read my mind. But after buying one for a gift (And testing it a few times) I decided it is just great! You can come back to it time and time again, and never get bored. You have to answer the questions it gives you to read your mind. There are 20 questions, hence the title, but if it fails to guess the first time, then it will ask 5 more questions, and guess again. It gets a majority of the goes correct.
Great little toy

Utterly addictive - let it surprise you!. I bought one of these as a novelty gift, thinking it would be little more than a stocking filler. Having had a sneaky go (the package exposes the buttons so you can try it out before opening it), I'm actually keeping it and buying a couple more for presents now! It's utterly addictive - I thought of some bizarre items I was CONVINCED would throw it, but it's just too clever. And you just want to keep trying it again and again to see if you can catch it out. It's a quirky little thing too, programmed with enough cheeky to be quite charming (but not too much!).
Hours of fun - give it a go!

Rubbish!. I was interested in buying this and saw one out for demonstration, so i thought i'd test it out before i bought it. Lucky i did! I thought of a racoon and began the game. It began promising, asking sensible questions, then went totally off the point. It never got it in 20 questions and only got it on the 25 question, which i felt was a bit of a cheat. I tried again with something simple, but this time, it never got it. I was glad when the words "you win" came up on the screen and it turned itself off, probably because it was embarrassed! At that point, i had to leave, which i felt glad to do, and was very glad i tried it before i bought it. Some of my friends, who were unable to try it, felt disapointed they couldn't and have since got rid of them. It's a good idea, pity about the actual product. It's cheaper (and a lot more fun) to play this game using real people than a computer which can't even guess the item you're thinking of is a pen.

Family fun for a short time. I got this for Christmas for the whole family to play with and it is fun and amazingly works most of the time unless you pick something really obscure. The only real problem with this is that it can grow old very quickly and within about ten minutes the 20Q will be collecting dust in the corner. Not so good if you have a short attention span.

Get outta my mind!. ...says a bloke on the current 20Q TV advert. And yes, it appears for most of the time this little round gadget is reading my mind, as long as I'm thinking simple thoughts...
Okay, this little beastie tries to guess what someone is thinking about by asking a series of questions that can be answered by a simple yes/no/maybe. After 20 questions it tries to guess what you thought of with varying degrees of success. For example, think of cola and it might guess a can or a bottle; which to be honest isn't too far from the truth.
Personally, I think it's one of those "coffee table" objects; something that would sit on a table and maybe once in a while you'll try it out. Mind you, the expressions on people's faces when it guesses correctly is priceless!
