Guess Who?

Deduction and Guessing Games

Guess Who is a two-player board game in which each player tries to work out the identity of the character the opponent has secretly chosen. It was developed by the Israeli game inventors Ora and Theo Coster, the founders of Theora Design, and first appeared in Dutch in 1979 under the title Wie is het. Milton Bradley then produced the game in the United Kingdom, and it was brought to the United States in 1982. The game is now owned by Hasbro.
