And the version played via text or chat app is just as much fun. Begin by telling your opponent where you are to at least give them a fighting chance. Then look around your environment until your mind's eye fixes on something in particular.

Variations include giving clues after each negative response to a wrong guess, or limiting the number of guesses allowed.
