Answer Book

How to play

1. How do you use the book of answers online?: Think of a question that can be answered yes or no, then press and hold the deck. The glowing ring fills in 1.5 seconds and flips an answer card on its own. You can also just tap the deck or the Draw a card button — the card you get doesn't depend on how long you held.
2. How many answers can I draw for one question?: Up to 3 when you play alone. After the first card the button reads Draw another; after the third the deck shakes and tells you the question is full. Tap any of the small cards in the row to reread it on the big card, then press Keep this one to seal it as the answer.
3. How do I ask the next question?: Once an answer is kept the main button becomes Ask the next one, or you can simply hold the deck again. Press New question to move on without keeping anything. Nothing is reshuffled when you change questions, so you won't see a line you just drew.
4. How do you play it with friends?: Open settings and set 2 to 6 players. Each player draws one card per question; the page announces whose turn it is and tags each small card with the player's number. When everyone has drawn, pick one line together and keep it as the group's answer.

Rules & variants

What are the rules of this book of answers? The deck is the whole set of 250 original answer cards, sorted by tone into yes, no, wait and act — no more than a fifth of them are a no. Every draw takes the next card of a shuffled deck and the deck is only reshuffled when it runs out, so you never repeat a line mid-deck; the last 6 cards of one deck also go to the back of the next, so any 7 draws in a row are all different.

Is holding the deck different from tapping it? Not in the result. Holding fills a ring over 1.5 seconds, a moment to focus on your question, and flips automatically when it's full. Sliding your finger off the deck, dragging it, or switching apps cancels the draw. A tap draws straight away. Either way you get exactly the same card.

Why three cards and keep one? Three cards let you compare a few answers instead of redrawing until you hear what you wanted. Tap a small card to show it on the big card; Keep this one seals the question — no more draws, no changing your mind. Which card you keep never changes what comes next.

How does the multiplayer mode work? With 2 to 6 players, each question holds one card per player. A badge always shows whose turn it is, and a short 'Player N's turn' banner plays after each draw. There's nothing to win and nothing to hide — the answers are meant to be read out to the whole table.

Party ideas: ① one question each — everyone asks their own question silently and the others guess it from the answer; ② one question for the table — where to eat, what to watch — everyone draws once and you vote for the line to keep; ③ ask it backwards — whoever gets a no rephrases the question and draws again to see if the two lines add up to advice.

Where is my history saved? The history button shows your last 30 cards, with kept answers stamped. Only card numbers are stored, never your question, and nothing leaves your browser; tap Clear history twice to delete it. A refresh brings back the same card, the same row and the same count.
