My PhD project is to work on language model capable of playing the answerer in a Twenty Questions game (reverse of Akinator). If you are interested you can play here: https://twentle.com It is meant as a party game to play on your mobile with the learderboard on a large screen (like Quiplash)

On the back-end is a GPT-3 model answering the questions with: never, rarely, sometimes, always or usually.

I tried it for a very few seconds (on lunch, will return) and showed it to a few non-native english speakers: very interesting, especially for them.

One thing - instead of the 'is it an animal' intro, perhaps you could put 'ask your question here'.

Thanks for the suggestion! Changed it to 'ask your question here...'
Do they see this game as good way to practice their English?
It's killing me that if I run out of time, I never get to find out what the word was. could you tell me what word three was for https://www.twentle.com/p/2358 ?
Indeed, I'll change that so you can see the word after you run out of time/questions. The word was belt.
