I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!
"Don't have a cow, man" just answer the questions! Test
your SIMPSONS I.Q. and pit your wits against the all-
knowing 20Q™. Think of any SIMPSONS fact and 20Q™
will read your mind! This A.I. wizard will challenge your
knowledge of the people, places and things from the world
of THE SIMPSONS historic, multi-award winning TV series
and the worldwide box office hit, THE SIMPSONS MOVIE. A
Built-In Light and an UNDO button that lets you change your
mind add to the excitement and challenge. You might need
to eat an extra donut to outdo 20Q™!

the game to its original settings.

LET'S BEGIN
Although you won't win, I'll tell you how to play anyway!
Press the ON button to turn the unit on or to wake the unit
from SLEEP MODE. To start a new game, press and hold
the NEW GAME button until the current game clears, and
then I will ask if you are READY to play. If you're ready,
press the YES button and think of anything related to THE
SIMPSONS™.
I will ask you a series of questions before I guess what
you're thinking. However, I will always begin with the
same set of questions: Are you a Person, Place, Thing or
Unknown? There are two ways to answer the first four
questions. First, you can answer each question with YES
or NO. Or, you can toggle between these four questions by
pressing the LEFT SCROLL or RIGHT SCROLL buttons to
identify the question that is correct and answer YES.
When I ask the remaining questions, answer honestly by
pressing one of the answer buttons (YES, NO, SOMETIMES,

UNKNOWN). If you answered a question incorrectly, press
the UNDO button to return to the prior question and change
your answer. I will try to guess what you are thinking
before I have asked 20 questions. However, I may ask you
a total of 20 questions. At this point, I will try to guess
what you're thinking. If I guess correctly, press the YES
button. If for some strange reason I guess incorrectly, I will
ask you five more questions then guess again.
When I correctly guess what you are thinking, I win! If all
my guesses are wrong, you win. But don't worry - that will
never happen...
Good luck! You're going to need it!
