Guess Who? Original Guessing Game for Kids Ages 6 and Up for 2 Players

Kids love this game

Loved this as a kid so got my kids one

I've seen a lot of reviewers in these comments say that the diversity makes the game less fun or easier and I just have to ask... are you insane? As a kid the absolute worst part of the game was when they asked a question about a super narrow category and the answer was yes and I had to watch the person I was playing with knock down all but 4 or 5 characters when I only had that many down. "Does your character have red hair?" "Yes." Now they're down to five. Far from generalizations, this version of the game forces you to look at smaller details and pay more attention to the questions that you're asking, all while giving kids who aren't blonde and ginger white kids a place to see themselves. I think the bad reviewers are just uncomfortable with seeing too many types of people they don't want to think about.Also, I originally bought this board for Subjective Guess Who and it works wonderfully for that purpose. I will say that the hinges are a little cheap, so it's not super easy to flip them back up, but that doesn't bother me too much since I'm an adult with the fine motor skills to just poke them back into place.

Playing this game with stereotypes instead of physical characteristics is the best! Takes a 3 star game and instantly makes it a 5.Do your friends and family make the same assumptions about people that you do???

Pricey but fun

I bought this after my daughter fell in love with it while playing my original board game from when I was a kid. In my opinion, this version is superior to the original. I’m not just talking about the fact that it represents all skin tones, or even that the male/female ratio is 50/50.This updated game has a slightly larger board than the original and it is also a bit heavier/well made. The paper inserts are indeed made of paper...just like the original. They “click” right into place and we have not had the problem of them falling out again, even after “flicking” down the characters or flipping the board upside down to flip them back up again. There is also a new feature, though small. This game comes with pegs that you can insert into the board after winning to keep score. It implies that the first to five correct guesses wins.I prefer this new version to the original any day. I have both game boards (original and new version) and it’s easy to see that the newer on is higher quality.

Turning five and she enjoyed the game. Sometimes can’t read the name, but she can spell it out.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my niece and nephew. I played this as a kid and loved it so much I wanted to bring that same joy to the new generation. The most notable update of this game is that it is a lot more diverse. The characters represent many different races, ethnicities, and genders. This actually really gave the game a lot more to go on in terms of the kinds of descriptive clues you could ask about. I thought this was a nice way to get kids (of all ages) to really observe the characters and and find the differences and similarities between each of them. It also kind of normalizes talking about race and gender as well as teaches kids how to describe people's physical qualities with kindness and neutrality. Weirdly deep? Maybe. But ultimately the game is as fun as I remember it (if not more) and I appreciate the creators' attempt to be inclusive. This classic game has upheld its reputation and aged really well. Would definitely recommend!
