Akinator is a video game developed by French company Elokence. During gameplay, it attempts to determine what fictional, or real-life character the player is thinking of by asking a series of questions (like the game Twenty Questions). It uses an artificial intelligence program that learns the best questions to ask through its experience with players.
Gameplay
Before beginning the questionnaire, the players must think an object, character, animal or movie/tv show. 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, object, animal or movie/tv show. If the answer is narrowed down to a single likely option before 25 questions are asked, the program will automatically ask whether the character, object, animal or movie/tv show it chose is correct. If the character, object, animal or movie/tv show is guessed wrong few times in a row, then the game will prompt the user to input the character/object/animal/movie/tv show'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.
