Radica 20 Questions Handheld Game Reviews

20 Questions (or 20Q) is a fun hand-held electric game. It requires batteries. I find that adults tend to enjoy this toy more than kids. — Here's how it works: think of something crazy that you think the game will never guess. The toy will scroll questions across the small screen one at a time and wait for your yes or no answer. It may start out asking "Is it alive?" or "Is it a food?" and it sorts out answers based on your replay. After 20 questions are answered, it attempts to guess what you were thinking about. — The crazy thing is, it is almost always right! It can be a lot… read full review »

I originally saw this product advertised in some magazine.  I cannot remember which one, but the advertisment intrigued me.  I am a person who loves games as well as unique games.  This fit the bill for both categories.  I went to my computer and found this game online and purchased only one, just so I could test it out.  To my surprise, I loved it and wanted to give it away to all of my like-minded friends who I knew would enjoy it as much as I did.  This game is easy to use, compact and easy to bring with you to all sorts of events, and makes a great present to… read full review »

This is a great toy for all ages. It seems to amaze kids and adults too. It has a lot of replay value and is well worth the money spent. If you are looking for a toy that will last and kids will enjoy for more than a week or month then this is one to… read full review »

Looking for a neat stocking stuffer?     Gift for a co-worker?  Fun, inexpensive, easy to operate toy with no pieces to lose?  Something that Grandma and/or Grandpa doesn't have & will enjoy? Something that crazy Uncle Harry will never forget? — 20Q is the answer! — This electronic version of 20 Questions will freak you out. Our entire family (ages 5-"older than dirt") played with it and tried to think of very obscure things that "never" could be guessed. Well, guess what? It got us every time. We even started writing things on paper because we… read full review »

This toy is amazing.  It truely is right just about all of the time.  We took it to a family gathering last year, and it was a big hit.  It was passed around most of the day.  For us, it was a toy that was played with frequently, but in spurts, so battery life hasn't yet been an issue.  It's never been misplaced, but it has a "home" in a drawer with other hand held toys, and seems to always find it's way there when not in use.  I really don't have any cons for this, other than it is a game where reading skills are needed, so little kids can play, but only if… read full review »

My daughter and I tried this at the store and I couldn't put it down. I would try to think of something the game could not figure out.  The game will ask 20 questions and I would answer honestly.  I even laughed when the game would make a comment like "That was so human of me!" The idea that you can out-fox a tiny computer keeps one playing and playing!  This will be a must for trips in the car and for waiting in Dr. offices. The sound can be muted so one can play it almost anywhere.  The price allows everyone to get… read full review »

I rec'd this as a Christmas gift last year and I really love it! The only con I have for it is that when it isn't in view I forget about it, with the size being so small. Also, unless you have good light and good eyesight it may be hard to see the words. I can't believe that when I use my thoughts that they are read by this little machine. It always leaves me in awe that it is so smart. Definitely great for anyone that can read, as well as being a great travel or hospital patient gift.… read full review »

This toy couldn"t  be more fun for my students of a  second language. They ask to play this gamein each recreational period.  However the version of this toy that has been translated to second languages soesn"t appear to have been well done as it seldom works and they grow tired of it quickly.  This said  the toy is great and  for english speaking consumers it is a must for  children and adults to play togeher… read full review »

This was such a great product. The kids had hours of fun and they never get tired of it. The only problem was that it seemed to be misplaced alot because it is small. The kids and I were amazed that it got almost every one right. It kept excited the whole time they were playing with it. We received it as a birthday gift and I would definatly gift one to a friend or adult. Because even the adults are amazed at how it knows what you are… read full review »

This is amazing!  Someone had one at work last year and it took me forever to find one -- they are more available now.  They were cheaper last year also!  Once my Uncle was "just thinking"  and it told him "your thoughts".  — This is probably for junior high or high kids and definitely for adults.  Something that is absolutely amazing! —… read full review »

While you can beat this game, it is fun to see how often it is correct.  Sometimes it can guess correctly in more than 20 questions, but more times than not, it guesses in 20 or less.  My 13 and 5 year old daughters get a real kick out of the game guessing what we are thinking of.  My husband play's this game over and over.  It is a great car game for long and short… read full review »

I played with 20 Questions at my cousin house when we were having a family get to gether. I couldn't believe how many times we would think of something and this little toy would guess what we were thinking, it was eery! All had fun with grownups and kids. I went out and bought one just to have around for the grandchildren when they come visit and friends and family, it really is… read full review »

I have 2 of these little gagets and they are quite fun. When you first get one you won't be able to put it down. The whole family will want to give it a try (several times) and will be trying to stump it but I'd say 99% of the time the machine figures out what you are thinking! Sometimes you just don't know how it does it. A neat little stocking stuffer the family will enjoy. I recommend… read full review »
