How to Play Botticelli (20 Questions With A Twist!)

Botticelli is an excellent game you can play whilst sitting around doing nothing. It's very much like the game "20 Questions" except it gives the person answering the questions a challenge!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Boredom!

1. Select a person to be "It". They will then select (to themselves or on a piece of paper) a famous person. The goal is for the other player(s) to guess who that person is using the following method.

2. "It" will say the first letter of the person's last name like this, "I am J". The letter they say refers to the first letter of the person's last name. In this example, we'll say "J" refers to Michael Jackson. This is the first and only clue.

3. The first player will ask a question. They may ask, "Are you female?" to which "It" would answer along the lines of, "No. I am not Angelina Jolie". This tells the players that the person is male. It also provides "It" with a challenge to think of a female who's last name begins with the letter "J".
   
   The next player will ask a question such as, "Are you a singer?" to which "It" could respond, "Yes. But, I am not Mick Jagger"

4. The game ends when the first player guesses the secret person! Should "It" be unable to think of an answer, they will lose and a new person becomes "It". You could also add a rule saying that "It" wins if they can successfully answer 20 questions in this format.
