Akinator is an internet game and mobile app based on Twenty Questions that attempts to determine which character the player is thinking of by asking them a series of questions. It is an artificial intelligence program that can find and learn to ask suitable questions to the player.
Created by three French programmers in 2007, it became popular worldwide in November 2008, according to Google Trends. In 2018, the website was updated.
Game information[]
In order to begin the questionnaire, the user must hit the play button and think of a popular character (musician, athlete, political personality, actor, fictional film/TV character, etc.). Akinator then begins asking a series of questions (as much as required), with "Yes", "No", "Probably", "Probably not" and "Don't know" as possible answers, in order to narrow down the potential character. If the answer is narrowed down to a single likely option before 25 questions are asked, the program will automatically ask if the character it chose is correct.
If the character is guessed wrong three times in a row, then the program will prompt the user to input the character's name, in order to expand its database of choices. It predicts the answer based on the tree match algorithm. AKI AWARDS can be rewarded for guessing a new character. An update allowed users to purchase accessories for the genie with money obtained in-game.
