My little boy got this game for his birthday last week and I just had to let other people know how fantastic it is.

What is it?
Well it is the traditional Guess Who? with a massive twist. It's Electronic !
This Guess Who comes as a plastic case that folds over to make the playing boards, it still has the old fashioned red and blue teams. There are three buttons on the top of the frame, two answer buttons for yes and no and a timer button. Each side comes with three colour coordinated playing cards, these are double sided so you have six different themes to play with.

The cards have five rows of characters, the first two are the ones from which you chose from and the last three are the 'suspects' and they have the little doors that close when the character is eliminated. The cards are slotted into the frame and clipped in place. There is a little slider which you move over your chosen character, when the other player has chosen their person you are ready to go.

How do you play it ?

There are a few versions of play, all are set up in the same way as described above.

Game one = Traditional mode, this is played exactly like the traditional game except there are a few added extras. Each player picks a suspect, it is then up to the players to guess what character the other one has got by asking yes / no questions such as Is it a girl ? Do they have blonde hair?. In this new version instead of just saying yes or no you push one of the buttons green for yes or red for no button, this makes a random noise such as 'wahoo' 'yeah' 'ha ha ha' or 'boo' etc.

The game carries on until a player guesses correctly, at this point the 'yes' button is held down for three seconds and a little winning carnival tune is played.

As mentioned above there are six cards to choose from
1) The usual suspects - these are exactly the same faces as the traditional game such as Philippe and Sophie with her dreadlocks.
2) Kids - these are similar to the adults except they are children and have more modern names like Emily and Daz.
3) Household- this is not people it is things like toaster, fridge and kettle a bit weired and the game ends quickly as they are all so different and its easy to eliminate them from suspicion
4) Funny faces - This is my sons favorite, they are all people but with very funny faces like Percy and his giant glasses or Fred with a big curly tongue.
5) Monsters - Lots of cute and scary monsters with great names such as Nimple and Prebatz.
6) Animals - Lots
