Test your Skills and Abilities in playing the Akinator Online

Akinator for PC is a computer game and mobile app by French company Elokence.com. During gameplay, it attempts to determine what fictional or real-life "character" the player is thinking of by asking a series of questions (like the game Twenty Questions). It uses an artificial intelligence program that learns the best questions to ask through its experience with players.

Akinator PC can read your mind and tell you what character you are thinking about, just by asking a few questions. Think of a real or fictional character and Akinator PC will try to guess who it is.

In the event that you are feeling bored or lazy and are searching for a better than average test or somebody who will acknowledge your match, at that point, make proper acquaintance with the Akinator genie. Notwithstanding, the Akinator play online does not grant wishes. However, It taps into the innermost crevices of your brain through its amazing mind-reading abilities. In other words, Akinator allows the player to challenge the mind-reading skills of the iconic Akinator genie.

Gameplay[edit]

To begin the questionnaire, the user must press the play button and think of a popular character, object or other things that frequently come to mind (musician, athlete, political personality, video game, mother or father, actor, fictional film/TV character, Internet personality, etc.). Akinator, a cartoon genie, begins asking a series of questions (as many as required), with "Yes", "No", "Probably", "Probably not" and "Don't know" as possible answers, to hack down the potential character.[1][2] If the answer is narrowed down to a single likely option before 25 questions are asked, the program will automatically ask whether the character it chose is correct. If the character is guessed wrong three times in a row (or more, usually in intervals of 25, 50, and 80), then the program will prompt the user to input the character's name, to expand its database of choices.[3]

In Europe, the game reached its peak popularity in 2009.[1]
