Bittersweet Candy Bowl Forums

Hello there BCB Forum Members! I've seen quite a few games pop up over the last few days and decided to submit one of my own. I used to play this with my little cousins and siblings a few years ago as a sort of learning game to prepare them for preschool. They loved it, and truth be told I liked the game so much that I'd even play it with some of my friends in school during break or free periods. I thought I might share it with the forum and see how it's received.

The Game

The Host thinks of something chosen from one of the categories below. The Players will ask yes or no questions about what the Host is thinking of and the Host will answer them to the best of their ability. Once a Player guesses what the Host is thinking of, that Player becomes the Host and the previous Host may participate in the game if they wish.

Example 1

Host: The category is animals.
Player 1: Is it pink?
Host: No.
Player 1: Is it a canine?
Host: Yes.
Player 1: Is it a wolf?
Host: No.
Player 1: Is it a dingo?
Host: Yes it is a dingo.

Example 2

Host: The category is food.
Player 1: Is it a type of dairy?
Player 2: Is it something sweet?
Host: Yes it is a type of dairy. No it is not sweet.
Player 2: Is it cheese?
Host: It is a type of cheese.
Player 1: Is it Swiss?
Host: Yes it is Swiss Cheese.

Rules

1. You can only ask yes or no questions.
2. You may only ask one question per post.
3. You may not double post to ask multiple questions in a row.
4. You cannot start another round before the previous round is finished.
5. You have to tell which category for what you're thinking of falls under.
6. You have to use one of the listed categories for what you're thinking of.
7. You may not choose something obscure such as "My mom." "My pet." "My house." etc
8. Be specific as the Host. If several people guess something make sure you you clarify who is right and who is wrong.
9. If someone guesses what you're thinking of actually is but not the exact thing (i.e your answer is Swiss Cheese and someone guesses cheese.) make sure you clarify what you're answering. See Example 2.

Notes

As far as I know, no one has done this game. I did a search and it didn't yield anything so I hope there isn't a game like this already up. If there is, I am deeply apologetic as I couldn't find one similar to this. Also, please feel free to add suggestions to the rules and categories. As long as it's not something ridiculous, I probably will approve.

Now, obviously, I will start as the Host. The category is animals. You may begin asking questions.

So 20 questions.

Essentially. I suppose I couldn't just typed that instead. Sorry. Has it already been submitted somewhere here? Just ignore this topic then.

I don't think it has, actually.

Is it a mammal?

Yes it's a mammal.

Is it a primate?

No.

Is it in Carnivora?

Yes.

Is it in Feliformia?

Yes.

Is it a cat?

It's a type of cat, but not a domestic one if that's what you're asking.

Is it a lion?

No.

Tiger?

How about a panther?

No, I did not edit anything. That caption thingy is lying.
