Classic two-player Guess Who? with one hidden character per player.
Standard Guess Who? is the classic two-player version: both players use the same character set, secretly choose one mystery character, and ask yes-or-no questions to eliminate faces until someone is ready to guess.
Set up both frames with the same character set, open all the character doors, and secretly choose one mystery character. The youngest player normally starts, then players alternate turns. On a turn, ask one yes-or-no question about the opponent's hidden character, such as whether the character has a visible feature, accessory, color, or other trait. After the opponent answers, close every face that cannot still be the mystery character. Instead of asking a question, you may use your turn to name the mystery character. Classic rules award the game to the player who guesses correctly, and many editions treat a wrong guess as a loss, so agree on the edition rule before a match if your set differs. For multi-round play, keep playing rounds and move the score tracker after each win.
A single game is recorded as a win or loss, not by points. If your group plays the common championship format, each round win advances a score tracker and the first player to the agreed target, often five round wins, is the match winner. For How You Rank, record the game winner and use notes for round counts.
Enter one winner for the match. Add notes if you played multiple rounds, used a themed character sheet, or used the two-character challenge rule.
