Secret Number (Game for 2 Players)

Aim: To guess a secret number by asking questions.

Choose a player to start, you may have to Facetime your friend to play this game or play with someone at home. They choose a number in secret and write it down. You can ask them questions but they can only answer yes or no.  Think about helpful questions: – Is it larger/smaller than …? – Does it have 6 as one of its digits? – Is the units digits smaller than the tens digit? How many questions did it take to work out the secret number?  Swap so the other person chooses the secret number.  Can you guess their number in fewer questions?
