How to play Guess the ___ online

Everyone plays on their own phone, 2 to 8 players. One person starts a room, picks the category and sends the link.

Everyone secretly picks a person in that category: tap one from a premade list, take a random one, or type any name.

On your turn, ask a yes or no question to one player, several or everyone. Each of them answers about their own person: yes, no, or a short reply like "yeah, but not everyone agrees".

Or guess: pick a player and type a name. The site checks every guess, so nobody can fib. Get it right and they're out. The last player standing wins.

Ask out loud, in the same room or on a call, or type your questions in text chat.

The premade lists

Names almost everyone in the category knows, all with pictures. Or type your own category, like rapper or YouTuber.
