Objective of the Game

The objective of Guess the Address is to discover the hidden address (house number) of another player through strategic questioning and deduction.

Game Materials

• Paper and pens for each player
• A predetermined list of house numbers (e.g., 1 to 100)

Setup

1. Each player receives a sheet of paper and a pen.
2. Players agree on a range or list of house numbers for the game (e.g., numbers from 1 to 100).
3. Each player secretly writes down one house number from the list on their sheet and keeps it hidden from the others.

Gameplay

1. The youngest player starts by asking any other player a yes/no question designed to narrow down the possibilities of that player's house number.
2. The player being asked must answer honestly with “Yes” or “No.”
3. The next player in a clockwise direction then asks a yes/no question to any player of their choice.
4. The turn continues in this manner around the table.
5. A player can declare a guess instead of asking a question when it is their turn. If they believe they know another player's house number, they can state it aloud.
6. If the guess is correct, the guesser wins the round for that opponent's number, and a new round begins with all players choosing new house numbers.
7. If incorrect, the player loses their next opportunity to ask or guess.

Ending the Game

The game ends once a predetermined number of rounds have been played, or a set number of successful guesses have been made (e.g., 3 won rounds).

Strategic Tips

• Aim to ask questions that eliminate the largest number of possibilities, like “Is the house number higher than 50?” instead of more specific ones, which provide less overall information.
• Pay attention to the responses other players give, using this information to refine your own questions.
• When few possibilities remain, make a calculated guess to secure a win.

Guess the Address is an engaging game that fosters logical thinking and deduction, making it perfect for family and friends gatherings.
