| Akinator (Website) | comment |
Akinator is an online Twenty Questions game where you challenge the eponymous genie, Akinator, to guess a character or real-world person you've picked.It is noted for having a very extensive database of characters and people from even the most niche and obscure works—this is because the database is being constructed by the players; not only they can introduce new characters to Akinator, but he also learns more about the characters as more questions about them are answered.As a result, it is typical to see "Akinator threads" on various forums which are mostly filled with people being amazed at how ably Akinator can "read their mind". | |

| Akinator (Website) / int_1495d0e6 | comment |
Non Sequitur: The questions can be extremely vague (Is your character real?) or very detailed (Is your character a Defender for Chelsea FC?), especially jarring when they follow each other. | |

Mood-Swinger: Akinator can switch from raging mad (usually after a string of "no"s) to smugly satisfied with a single question (if you answer yes after said string). He can also become confused if you give him an answer he did not expect, especially if he was very sure that he knew who it was. | |

Bat Deduction: Sometimes appears to exhibit this, in cases where he asks a lot of seemingly (but not genuinely) pointless questions and then jumps to the correct answer. One reason he might do this is that he's actually already figured out your character, and is using the extra questions to learn more about them. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Akinator (Website) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Akinator doesn't take into account the similarities between questions, so you may be asked the same question with different wording multiple times, or you may be asked contradictory questions (such as about a character's age, hair color, clothing...). He can even ask the same question again with no changes. His face also reflects poorly on how close he actually is to the answer, sometimes suddenly getting the "close to the answer" look and asking something utterly irrelevant. | |

Allegedly Free Game: Akinator is this on mobile devices. If you visit Akinator's website from a mobile OS or are playing the game from an Akinator mobile app, there is a limit on how many characters you can play before all but the most popular characters get flagged as "VIP characters" that you must unlock by paying real money. No such restrictions apply if you are playing Akinator from a desktop PC. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| Akinator (Website) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: Sometimes Akinator will ask a logical series of questions leading to your character, then suddenly start asking random unrelated questions, apparently having been thrown off the scent. In the end though, he gets the character right. He figured out what your character was early on, and was just using the remaining questions (and you) to learn more about the character in question. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Akinator (Website) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Half of the point of the site is to Defy this trope by trying to find a character that isn't in the database. It Only Works Once for each character, as if you do succeed, you are expected to add your character. This has led to some extremely unusual characters, and non-standard results if you keep giving nonsense answers. "Someone who kept clicking on No to see what happens" "A smart guy who presses 'Yes' (that would be you)." Likewise, saying Probably/Partially to everything will get you "Probably Someone" Don't Know leads to "The One About Whom Nothing Is Known" Probably Not/Not Really will lead to "Someone who Doubts their Own Doubt" He can even guess what he calls "Something I Can't Talk About" — whose accompanying picture is a man staring, fascinated, down his boxer shorts. "I wasn't actually thinking of anyone." Giving a lot of very strange, sometimes contradictory answers results in "A player that probably needs brand new glasses (You)". "Your Own Character" is also a possibility, as are "Yourself", "Your mum", "Your father", "your martial arts instructor" and "your horse". "Television", "keyboard" and some variations on "computer" and "laptop" are also possible guesses, as are a lot of other inanimate objects such as "Light bulb", "Windows operating system", "iPad", "Wi-Fi", "Xbox-360", "Xbox-360 controller", "gamecube", "Printer", "magnets", and "The Internet". Worse yet, Akinator himself is included, to the point where he'll ask "Do you think I'm too stupid to guess who it is?" If you were thinking of his mother, a picture of a model in a genie suit appears. If you are listed as young and the answer generated is a wild guess he gives you "I know the answer, but I don't think it's for children." If you try to get it to guess something that's not a character, he will sometimes say something along the lines of "Something I don't know because it's not a character". Not only is Akinator included, but so is everything in his room, including the gold decorations on the pedestal, Akinator's mustache, and the sphinx-like statue nearby. "Your imaginary friend" can be suggested for certain apparently random combinations of attributes. The developers are included as "The ones who created this site". They also show up as "Akinator's creator" with a picture of a chimpanzee, the description says "How did you get his photo?" | |

Fission Mailed | |
| Akinator (Website) / int_f3f391f6 | comment |
Fission Mailed: Sometimes he only guesses the wrong character because he tries to guess too quickly. Click "Yes" to continue, and the second time he guesses, he'll usually be right. (For example, answering questions in a certain way may cause him to guess "Urdnot Wrex" from the Mass Effect series. If you were thinking of "Urdnot Grunt" instead, who superficially has a lot of similar characteristics but isn't as famous and therefore wouldn't spring to mind as quickly, rest assured that he'll answer "Grunt" the second time he tries to venture a guess after you've given him more information.) There's always a 90% chance he'll guess correctly after four or five tries. | |
