During your turn, use the chat to ask questions answerable with yes or no. Examples: "Does he wear glasses?", "Is she blonde?". Your opponent will answer honestly.
5. Eliminate Characters
Based on the answers, click on characters to eliminate them. You have 60 seconds per turn. When you're confident, give your final answer.
6. Guess and Win!
Select your opponent's character and confirm. If you're right, you win! If wrong, the turn passes to your opponent.

Pro tips to win more often

Start with general questions that eliminate many characters at once, not questions about a single face.
Before each question, scan the board and pick an attribute that splits the remaining characters roughly in half — hair colour, headwear, glasses, clothing colour.
Pay attention to your opponent's questions: they leak information about which character they are tracking.
Don't rush a final guess. A wrong guess usually hands the game to your opponent, so only commit when one character is left — unless you are behind and need to gamble.
On themed boards (anime, movies, sports) use category questions — team, franchise, hero or villain — which often wipe out half the board in one move.

Asking "Is it this person?" early in the game — it eliminates at most one character.
Asking double questions like "Do they have glasses and a hat?" — your opponent can only answer one yes or no.
Asking subjective questions like "Do they look friendly?" that both players might read differently.
Forgetting to re-count the board after each answer, so you keep asking about attributes that no longer split the field.
