A guessing game is a game in which the object is to guess some kind of information, such as a word, a phrase, a title, or the location of an object.

Many of the games are played co-operatively. Some player(s) know the answer, but cannot tell the other(s), instead they must help them to guess it.

Examples are:

• Battleship
• Charades
• Hangman
• I spy
• Mastermind
• Name that tune
• Pictionary
• Quizbowl
• Seekipedia
• Twenty questions
