Get ready for a night of mystery and guessing with Who Goes There?, a party game that will put your intuition to the test! The premise is simple and captivating: each participant receives a secret identity for the evening, and the goal is to figure out who's who at the table. But don't think it'll be easy, as information is limited and communication is key.
Upon receiving your identity card, you also discover which questions you can ask other players. The catch? All your questions must be phrased so that the answer is a simple 'Yes' or 'No'. That's right, no beating around the bush or obvious clues! You'll need to be strategic with your questions, trying to extract as much information as possible without revealing too much about your own identity.
The game continues with participants taking turns asking questions and trying to piece together the puzzle of others' identities. It's a race against time and against the cunning of your friends. Whoever manages to accumulate the most correct answers about other players' identities will be declared the winner when the host decides the party (and the game) has come to an end. It's the perfect combination of deduction, bluffing, and lots of social interaction, guaranteeing laughs and memorable moments every round. Ideal for breaking the ice or livening up any gathering!

Is it a complex game to learn?
Not at all! The beauty of Who Goes There? lies in its simple rules. You get an identity and know which questions to ask (always with a 'Yes' or 'No' answer). It's a pick-up-and-play kind of game!

Basically, the game comes with identity cards and perhaps some reference cards for questions. It's a game that focuses more on verbal interaction than on many components.
