Techno Source 20Q : Tech Savvy Mama BlogHer Sponsor!

I may be leaving for Type A tomorrow but I’m always looking ahead to BlogHer for the chance to reconnect with friends and meet new ones, share my knowledge through my panel, and work with incredible brands.  This year I’m excited to announce that I’ll be working with Techno Source to share their newest game- 20Q– so BlogHer attendees can have their minds read by 20Q before it hits stores this fall!
Techno Source 20Q arrives in stores this fall but
get a sneak peek from me at BlogHer!
Remember the 20 questions you used to play as a kid with your best friend or with the family in the back seat of the car during road trips?  


The favorite classic has since gone electronic, and now you can play with a new and improved handheld game.  20Q asks players to think of an animal, vegetable, mineral, or other object.  Then 20Q uses its super mind reading powers to figure out the answer in twenty questions or less based on pressing the yes, no, sometimes or rarely buttons.
My 20Q sample just arrived and besides being impressed with the sleek design and how easy it was to use out of the package, I’ve already put it to the test!  So far I’m amazed at how smart 20Q is. While I was trying to get it to guess dog as my answer, it guessed specific breeds of dogs!  My mystical hot pink little 20Q orb features the most “eerily accurate” artificial intelligence (A.I.) to date and has been said to know exactly what I’m thinking. Spooky!
“20Q has left players intrigued and mystified by its all-knowing senses for more than 20 years,” said Robin Burgener, inventor of the 20Q A.I.  “We have created a whole new modern way to play that’s even more magical.  We’re excited to see people of all ages become mesmerized all over again!”

I can’t wait to put 20Q in the hands of Captain Computer and Little Miss Techie who will put their heads together to try to figure out answers that might stump the animated screen! 

I have a feeling that this highly portable game will be coming with us to the pool to play between swim and dive team practices, outside for shady breaks in the hammock, on car trips to the grandparents’ house, and will be tucked in my carry on as I travel to Type A this week!  I already slapped a Mabel’s Label on my new toy so I’ll be sure to get it back!

20Q fits in the palm of my hand so it’s highly portable.
Just don’t take mine!

20Q will be available for purchase in September for just $12.99.  It is suggested for ages 6+ and will come in pink, red, and blue.  Can’t wait until then?  Play online at www.20Q.net and experience 20Q’s mind-reading abilities. 


As the official 20Q brand ambassador for BlogHer 2011, Techno Source is covering my conference expenses. A pre-release product sample was provided for review purposes.

    I have an earlier version of this game. It is AMAZING how well it can guess. I don’t know if I’ve ever managed to trick it.

    We’ve got one too- it’s amazing! I actually just opened it this weekend, so it was funny to see you posting on it today! It’s a lot of fun!
