Guess Who?
Game Summary: Whodunit? Two players try to deduce the identity of their opponent's "Mystery Person" by asking strategic questions. Through the process of elimination, the identity of the Mystery Person slowly becomes clear. As children grow and mature and become more skillful and thoughtful, their questions can become more strategic, allowing them to solve the mystery faster and faster. The faces on the cards are cleverly designed to give subgroups among the 48 characters just enough similarities to challenge players.

Game Review: "Guess Who" is one of the games that I most often see children bringing to school to play with their classmates on game days or party days (Why are our children playing board games at school? Well, that is a thought for a different type of discussion!), so I am sure this is as popular with all young children as it has been with mine. No reading skills are required, simply the ability to ask questions strategically and pay attention to small details like eye color, hair color or style, etc. The game itself is not incredibly high quality, but it holds together, and once you have done the initial assembly, it works well. Probably the highest compliment I can pay this game is that children of quite disparate age ranges can play it together and enjoy it.
