## What is Guess 'em?

Guess 'em is a free two player game for the iPhone, iPad & iPod touch.

About the game:

Two people must first download a version of the game to their iPhone/iPod/iPad touch.

Guess 'em is a guessing game where you try to find out which face your friend has by asking a series of questions, like; Do they have big eyes?, Are they wearing purple?

How to play:

Each player should decide what game pack to play with, when you load up, pick a character, this is whom your friend has to guess.

The first player should ask a question to player two in order to deduce who your opponent has selected.

Tapping on the faces will spin the face around so they are off the board so you can narrow your search.

Near the end of the game you should start to think who the person has, so you can shout "Guessed 'em" and reveal your guess.
