Akinator

Think of someone and let the genie guess

Akinator is a guessing game for people who enjoy testing what a quiz can figure out from a few clues. Think of a character, then answer the genie’s questions. The app uses your answers to try to identify who you have in mind. It suits quick solo rounds, family play, or a friendly challenge to see whether the genie can get a less obvious answer right.

More than one kind of guess

The game can be used to guess characters as well as things such as animals and objects. Its simple question-and-answer format makes it easy to start, while trying different answers gives each round a new direction. Akinator also includes challenges and rewards for players who stump the genie with a less familiar choice. The focus stays on the guessing game rather than requiring long sessions or complicated controls.

A widely played entertainment app

Published by Elokence SAS, Akinator is listed in the Entertainment category. Its Google Play listing shows a 4.65-star rating from about 4.86 million reviews and more than 100 million installs.
