A downloadable game

This one was lingering in my drafts before I thought to do 100-word games. Fortunately, it was very easy to cut down.


ANALYSTS OF BABEL
any players, cooperative
erasable writing surface, utensils

job description: create database of everything.

twenty questions-like. start with two things. anything.
e.g. ‘atom’, ‘library’, ‘davinci’, ‘the year 1987’, ‘the number 5’, ‘love’

think of question where one thing is ‘no’, other is ‘yes’. write it in tree diagram. ‘no’ on left.
e.g. for ‘atom’ and ‘library’: is it visible to naked eye?

create another thing.
answer questions about new thing until you land on another thing, presumably wrong.
