Gameplay
The player chooses an character, object, or animal.[1] Akinator asks questions with "Yes", "No", "Probably", "Probably not" and "Don't know" answers to try to find the answer.[2][3] A guess is made if a likely answer is found before 25 questions are asked. If a few wrong guesses are made, the player is asked the answer.[1]
Development
The game uses a program called Limule and an algorithm, both made by Elokence.[1]
Reception
L'Express gave Akinator a 5 out of 5 on their list of iPhone Apps of the Week for September 9, 2009.[4] Excite France liked the game's interactivity and that it was "revolutionary, attractive, and entertaining".[5]
