Ours has a moustache, purple hair and the body of a monkey

The simple things in life are often the best. And free things can often be pretty great too. In steps Guess ‘Em, an iPhone app with few features, but one that’s packed full of fun.

We’re sure that many adults out there fondly remember childhood staple of the Eighties Guess Who?, having whiled away many-a rainy Sunday afternoon trying to guess whether their sibling’s chosen character had a moustache or ginger hair. It’s a classic that hasn’t been changed in its translation to the iPhone — and that’s no bad thing. Simply hunt down someone with an iPhone, coerce them into downloading the app, and begin. You are both presented with pictures of people, and its your task to pick one, and guess who the other person has chosen.

With simple controls — touch the icon of the person you want to eliminate and it spins around to reveal a blank slate — and plenty of packs available, this is a great version of a classic game.
