20Q - Game 37

The Sandbox Games

Since it seems like we’re mostly in between other games, I’ll go ahead and start one (and then can pass the torch).

I’m thinking of something…

Stealing @Lucy’s question.

Is it alive or made predominantly from once-live things? (Let’s not count plastic here, but wood, meat, vegetables and the like)

3
  1. Is it alive or made predominantly from once-live things? (Let’s not count plastic here, but wood, meat, vegetables and the like) - No*

(*given previous discussion around this topic, such as a wood table = yes, but cowboy boots = no)

4

Can a person hold this?

5

  1. Is it alive or made predominantly from once-live things? (Let’s not count plastic here, but wood, meat, vegetables and the like) - No*

  2. Can a person hold this? - Yes

(*Q1: given previous discussion around this topic, such as a wood table = yes, but cowboy boots = no)

6

Is it larger than a breadbox?

7
  1. Is it alive or made predominantly from once-live things? (Let’s not count plastic here, but wood, meat, vegetables and the like) - No*

Side inquiry related to gameplay rules/courtesies/etc. Discuss if these are true or not:

  • Generally, it seems that a player only asks one question at a time and one in a row waiting for someone else to ask before asking again.
  • Generally, the new “I’m thinking of something” poster is the one who correctly guessed the previous object
9

Have most of us held this?

10

Agree to with both of these.

11

  1. Is it alive or made predominantly from once-live things? (Let’s not count plastic here, but wood, meat, vegetables and the like) - No*

  2. Can a person hold this? - Yes

  3. Is it larger than a breadbox? – No

  4. Have most of us held this? - No*

*Q1: given previous discussion around this topic, such as a wood table = yes, but cowboy boots = no

*Q4: I’m uncertain how to accurately determine this, so it’s a guess on my part. If “most” is > 90%, I’m comfortable with no. If defined as > 50%, I still think probably no.

12

I like these rules, although if the guesser doesn’t want to cue the next one, then it’s nice of someone else picks it up.

13

Is it generally found indoors?

14

  1. Is it alive or made predominantly from once-live things? (Let’s not count plastic here, but wood, meat, vegetables and the like) - No*

  4. Have most of us held this? - No*

  5. Is it generally found indoors? - Yes

15

would it commonly be found in a home. (That is, given the object, would a home be a normal place to find it.)
