Family Focus Time: 20 Questions

The game begins with one player thinking of an object. The object can be very general (a dog, for example) or very specific (a cocker spaniel, or even a particular cocker spaniel belonging to someone whom all the players know).

The other players ask yes-or-no questions to try to identify the
mystery object. Altogether the players are allowed to ask only 20 questions. "Is it bigger than a lunchbox?" might be a good first question.

Players take turns asking questions. Questions must be answered truthfully; if "yes" or "no" doesn’t' fit an answer, though, "sometimes" and "sort of" are acceptable.

The player who correctly guesses the mystery object wins the round and gets to choose the next object. If the object is not guessed
in 20 questions, the word chooser reveals the answer and gets to choose again.
