Several sets of 16 cards are available for this game, with some of the sets being purpose-designed for practicing using prepositions in sentences. Played in partner-pairs of two, participants take turns being either the asker and the answerer. The answerer draws a single card from a set of 16 cards (but keeps it secret), while the asker lays out an identical set of 16 cards in front of them. The asker then needs ask a series of simple questions to deduce which of the 16 cards in front of them matches the "secret card" held by the answerer. The sentence pattern "Do you see a _________________ in the bedroom?" is used by the asker in this game, with different common bedroom objects and furniture systematically inserted into the blank. After using this sentence pattern to ask a question, based on the answerer's response, the asker can flip any cards that CAN'T be a match to the "secret card" face-down, until only one animal card remains face up.
