¿Quién Es? guide: rules, how to play and tips
What is it?
¿Quién Es? (Who Is It?) is the guess-the-character game played with yes-or-no questions. Each player has a secret character, and the mission is to find out your opponent’s before they find out yours, flipping faces down until only one remains. On WePlay there are 24 original characters, each with details like glasses, a hat, a beard or hair color, and everyone sees their own board on their own phone.
Setup
- Two people play; others at the table can watch.
- Each player secretly gets one of the 24 characters. Only you see yours.
- Both boards start with all 24 faces up.
Rules
- Players take turns asking a yes-or-no question out loud about the other’s character, for example “do they wear glasses?” or “are they wearing a hat?”.
- The opponent answers truthfully based on their character.
- Using the answer, flip down the faces that can no longer be the secret character.
- On your turn, instead of asking, you can tap Guess and pick a face.
- Guess right and you win; guess wrong and you lose. Think carefully!
How to play on WePlay
- Open weplay.zone in the browser on every phone. There is no app to install and no account to create.
- If everyone is on the same Wi-Fi, they land at the same table automatically. Anyone far away or on cell data taps Invite and joins with the link, the QR code or the 4-letter code.
- The host picks ¿Quién Es? and taps Start. Each phone shows only its own player’s information; the table is shared in real time.
- For now ¿Quién Es? is played with other people: invite family or friends with the link.
- Tap faces to flip them down or up; your board is private and only you see which faces you ruled out.
- You can play in the same room talking out loud or long-distance on a video call, each on your own phone.
Tips and strategy
- The best questions split the characters into two equal groups, so you rule out half each turn.
- Avoid very specific questions early on, like a character’s name; they usually waste turns.
- Combine traits: “dark hair and glasses?” can rule out many faces at once, just make sure you both understand the question.
- Don’t guess until you are sure, or nearly: a wrong guess means you lose.
- It is a great game for kids to practice describing, observing and reasoning.
