I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING!
You don’t believe me, do you? Well, you soon will! Just think of an
everyday object, and I will ask you a few simple questions. Answer
the questions honestly, and I will tell you what you’re thinking! Scary,
isn’t it?

HoW to PLaY
Although you won’t win, I’ll tell you how to play anyway!
First, press the YES/NEW GAME button to begin a new game.
Next, I will ask you a series of questions that begin with “Is it... Animal?...
Vegetable?...Mineral...Other, or Unknown?” Use the LEFT SCROLL and
RIGHT SCROLL buttons to toggle between the options. When making
your selection, keep in mind that Animal, Vegetable and Mineral each has
a broader meaning. Consider the object you have selected and think of
its primary substance. For example, if you are thinking about a “wool
sweater,” you should say “Animal,” because it’s made of wool, which
comes from sheep, which are animals. You should answer “Mineral” for
an “arrow” because most of its parts are made of metal, and “Vegetable”
for a “T-shirt,” because it’s made of cotton, which is a plant.
Once you have made your decision, press the YES/NEW GAME button to
enter your answer.
Now I will ask you a series of questions. Answer honestly by pressing
one of the answer buttons. Your answer should be “Yes,” “No,”
“Sometimes,” or “Unknown.”
After a series of twenty questions, I will try to guess what you’re
thinking. If I guess correctly, press the
YES / NEW GAME
. If for some
strange reason I guess wrong, I will ask you 5 more questions then
guess again.
When I guess what you’re thinking, I win! If all my guesses are
wrong, you win. But don’t worry, that will never happen.
Good Luck! You’re going to need it!
