Is GuessWho Go free to play?+
Yes, completely free. All 20 boards and both game modes (vs AI and friend rooms) are free with no hidden paywalls, no sign-up and no downloads.
Do I need an account to play Guess Who online?+
No account needed. Open the site, pick a board and start playing. For friend games, we only store a temporary guest ID in your browser so you can rejoin a room if you refresh.
How do I play Guess Who with a friend online?+
Pick any board, hit "Play with Friend" to create a private room, then share the 6-digit room code or the room link. Your friend opens it — no registration — and you're playing in seconds. Rooms include live chat.
How does the AI opponent work?+
The AI plays classic Guess Who using the board's character attributes. Easy asks random questions, Medium mostly picks smart questions, and Hard always asks the question that eliminates the most remaining faces — a genuine challenge.
What happens if I guess wrong?+
A wrong guess ends the game immediately and your opponent wins. That's the classic rule — so only hit the Guess button when you're confident!
Is there a time limit per turn?+
Yes — each turn has a 15-second timer to keep games snappy. If you don't ask in time, your turn is skipped. If you don't answer in time, the question is skipped (no Yes/No is recorded).
Can I play on my phone?+
Absolutely. GuessWho Go is fully responsive and works in any modern mobile browser — no app install required.
Are the character images official artwork?+
No. All characters are original cartoon-style illustrations made for this game, which keeps the site friendly for everyone. See our DMCA page for details.
