Hey all,
I've been working on a new game in which you try to guess a story by asking a set of Yes/No questions. It's called the Wizard of Zo. Check it out and let me know what you think. It's still in the pretty early stages, so any ideas you have for making it better would be much appreciated.

Interesting. I tried it out once, guessed four questions all correctly, and then guessed the story correctly first try. I'm gonna have to try it out again to see if I can get a no.
Edit: You can get a no.

Can you answer the questions below? If not, ask some more Yes/No questions...
1. Who is the protagonist?
- a dog
2. How does the story start?
- the dog is waiting for his gold to arrive in England, via a train in the USA
3. What's the main conflict or obstacle?
- a bad man boards the train and robs it of all the gold
4. What does the protagonist do to overcome the obstacle?
- the dog kills the bad man
5. What happens in the end?
- the dog retrieves his gold
All of this would be fine, except that the gold is on a TRAIN COMING FROM THE USA TO ENGLAND?! That is one hell of a Chunnel! *lol*

| Hmm. Key, I'm noticing that a lot of people are coming up with protagonists who are dogs or animals. This may be perhaps because of the way the questions "Is the protagonist a man?" and "Is the protagonist a woman" are formulated. People tend to ask similar questions and thus get similar answers, consequently the stories are similar.
