Mattel and Warner Bros. need your help. Later this year they will release the new 20Q™ Harry Potter game but want the fans to help out by asking the game questions about characters, places and objects from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so that the newly released game will encompasses all the books.
The game asks fans to think of people, places, and things from the books and films and to try to stump the game’s remarkably clever and precise artificial intelligence with knowledge of Harry’s wizarding world.
From the press release:
Earlier this year, the three companies announced plans to introduce the newest version of the popular 20Q™ handheld game – 20Q™ Harry Potter, based on the popular movie and book series.
20Q™ is an artificial intelligence engine, website, company and phenomenon. Originally available only online, the game had players simply think of an animal, vegetable, mineral or other item, and 20Q™ attempted to guess what they were thinking of in 20 questions or less. Each time the online training game is played, 20Q™ “learns.”
20Q™ Harry Potter is the most recent edition to the popular handheld game that has been described as “spooky” and “deceptively addictive.” Based on the original 20Q™ game that won over millions of players from around the world, 20Q™ Harry Potter asks fans to think of people, places, and things from the books and films. The goal? Try to stump the game’s remarkably clever and precise artificial intelligence with knowledge of Harry’s wizarding world.

I really like the 20 Questions game, I haven't played the new Harry Potter one though, but the original game is pretty awesome.

How cool is that? To ask the fans to participate in the creation of a game for all of us fans? What an amazing idea! I really love it! What better way for us to continue to enjoy Harry and his friends?

Heh, I was trying to go through all the articles in order, but this was impossible to ignore until later. I've always been mildly fascinated with the 20Q thing, but this makes things even more interesting. I can't believe I'm so excited to help! I have to get one of these when it comes out - I'll never be bored. Hmm, I might be.

Ok so i have played this with my friend too, its really tough cause you can't make a mistake, give a wrong answer.. Then the game loses its goal.. But its really addicting, and i also tried some of the other 20Qgames, haha they are brilliant!

In an effort to develop the game and help “teach” 20Q™ about the world of Harry Potter, Warner Bros. Consumer Products, 20Q.net and Radica are encouraging Harry Potter fans to visit http://20Q.net and “train” this timeless game of 20 questions with characters, places and objects from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Radica will manufacture and distribute the new 20Q™ Harry Potter game later this year.
