You think of an object, or thing, or whatever. Then the program asks you 20 yes-or-no questions and tries to guess your object at the end. It gets it right a pretty large chunk of the time. In fact, it can be quite astonishing sometimes.

Wow, that's pretty creepy. I was thinking on an electric organ and they guessed it. However I won one round because it couldn't guess the Living Tar.

I won because it couldn't guess the US president (not the specific one, the office.) It couldn't guess DROD either, but it did guess computer game so I guess that's close enough (since the instructions say not to be specific).

It couldn't guess chocolate, either.

...apparently writing is essential on chocolate. Chocolate is not chocolate without writing on it. I mean, that'd be like paper without chocolate on it.

Mmm... chocolate. Excuse me.

Wow...I thought of the most obscure things I could imagine and it got most of them, and on average it says it would have answered about five of my questions differently.
