Anybody's Guess is a board game released in 1990 for 2–12 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 16 and up.
Anybody’s Guess is a clever and competitive party game of deduction, strategy, and suspense. In this team-based game, one team receives a series of progressively revealing clues to guess the identity of a famous person, place, or thing. The twist? The opposing team predicts how many clues it will take—so it's not just about what you know, but what you think your rivals can figure out. With over 400 double-sided clue cards, a unique sliding window viewer, prediction cards, timer, and a colorful game board, Anybody’s Guess turns every round into a lively mix of intellect and intuition. Teams race to the finish line by guessing wisely and outsmarting the competition—one clue at a time.
Anybody's Guess supports 2–12 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Anybody's Guess is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Anybody's Guess for ages 16 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Anybody's Guess has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
