About the game
Whozit?, first released as Profiler, is a game of co-operative deduction! For example, who would care more about their looks after a parachute jump? Dracula or Lady Gaga? Discuss and decide! Every round, one member of the team chooses a target character (e.g., Dracula) from six drawn at random. They then draw two phrases from the phrase deck and rank them from -5 to 5. The rest of the team then judges who among the six characters doesn't match up with how the two phrases have been ranked. If the team guesses correctly, the score marker is advanced one spot and the round continues. If they guess wrongly, all cards are discarded and the next round starts. The game ends after five rounds. Can you achieve a perfect score?

Questions and answers
Whozit? supports 3–8 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 Whozit? is 20–30 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 Whozit? for ages 10 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.
Whozit? has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
