Twenty Questions

[grrfluudy]

Ok, I don't even know if this is going to work, but let's try 20 Questions.

The first person thinks of a Person, Place (not necessarily proper name but location, destination) or Thing and the rest of the people have 20 yes or no questions to get it right. Then the person who gets it right does the next one.

The only problem, is you have to keep checking the thread to make sure to answer the questions and to see the answers so it's kind of a commitment, but I think it'll be fun.

Example:
First person thinks Apple. Says, it's a thing.
Second person : is it food?
First person: yes.
Second person: is it meat?
First person: no.
third person: is it a fruit?
First person: yes.
Etc. Etc.

Anyone with me?

Ok the first one is a place.

For the sake of clarity and so everyone can follow along easily, I have be putting @ and the name in bold of the person who asked the question. I am also answering the question fully by restating the question just in case people didn't see the original question so no one gets lost. :)

It can be...but doesn't have to be in a warmer climate @ Cindy. (I know that's not yes or no, but sometimes a clarification is an order. hey, it's my game! LOL)

not a wildlife refuge

New answers:

That's 14 game questions

[Peaceful Angel]

are there plants?

thanks for the summary, Jo and Terry.

[pepsibubbles]

planet earth?

[TerryF]

planet earth?

Hilary I had wondered that too, but no people?? IDK

[Peaceful Angel]

I thought it *can* have people? I hadn't thought of planet earth..good guess :)

[TerryF]

I thought it *can* have people? I hadn't thought of planet earth..good guess :)

You're right Janice, Jo did say it could have people ... so maybe so

[grrfluudy]

@Janice Yes there are plants
@Hilary No. It's on the planet earth, but the answer is not the planet earth.

Just to clarify if I led you astray - It has people sometimes, but it could exist without people. It doesn't need them to exist ergo not man made.

Here's what we have so far:
place
warm or cold climate
not a store
contains living animals in different climates
does not charge admission
not a zoo
not a pet store
can have people, not necessary
not a wildlife refuge
not in a building
there are sea animals
not an animal museum
there are plants
answer is not the planet Earth, but it is on the planet Earth
