Akinator is a video game this game sucks
Gameplay
Before beginning the questionnaire, the players must think of a real or fictional character. Akinator initiates a series of questions, with "Yes", "No", "Probably", "Probably not" and "Don't know" as possible answers, to narrow down the potential character. If the answer is narrowed down to a single likely option before 25 questions are asked, the program will automatically ask whether the character it chose is correct. If the character is guessed wrong few times in a row, then the game will prompt the user to input the character's name, to expand its database of choices.
Development
The game is based on the Limule program made by Elokence, and runs on an internally designed algorithm.
Reception
L'Express rated Akinator a 5 out of 5 on their list of iPhone Apps of the Week for September 9, 2009. Excite France stated that Akinator "is just that interactive. It is revolutionary, attractive, and entertaining."
In Europe, the game reached its peak popularity in 2009.
