How Breadrace works

Race a friend. You each pick a word for the other to find, then ask me yes-or-no questions to find yours. Whoever finds theirs in fewer questions wins.

Pick a word from the cards and send your friend the link. They pick one for you, and the race starts.
Whoever starts the race picks 10, 15 or 20 questions each, and whether there are hints: sparks, traits and question ideas, as in Classic.
Fewer questions wins. If you tie, the faster time wins, from your first question to your last. If neither of you finds theirs, it's a draw.
You don't have to play at the same time. If your friend's playing when you are, their breadbox moves as they go. If they played earlier, it keeps pace with yours as far as they got, so you still race.
Races are apart from Classic: they don't count toward your streak, stats, cards or trophies.
An answer looks wrong? Tap its thumbs-down. At the end, you can tell me if your word was too weird or too hard.
Changed your mind before the race starts? Cancel it, and its link will say so.

Spoiler: the answer to #20

Puzzle #20 was on Saturday, 17 October 2026. Want to play it first? It's at the top of this page.

It was a chicken.

Nobody played it on the day.

How to play

I'm thinking of something. Find it in 10 yes-or-no questions. Silly ones are fine.

Start broad, like "Can it fly?" or "Is it bigger than a breadbox?", then name it to win: "Is it a fridge?" A new puzzle every midnight, the same one for everyone.

Good to know

It's always an animal, something edible or an object. The top of the page says which.
Each answer is Yes, Probably, Kind of, Probably not or No, with a bar for how sure I am. When it depends on which one or when, it's Usually, Sometimes or Rarely. If something's only technically true, I'll say so: "Technically no, but most would say yes."
A question that isn't yes-or-no doesn't use one up.
Stuck? Tap the light bulb in the question box for questions you can tap to ask.
Pills are the traits you've found: white for common, blue for rare, purple for very rare. Tap one to see how rare it is.
Sparks: every answer that isn't a Yes or a Probably charges one, and 2 charges give you a free trait, rarer each time, without using a question. Tap the spark square to use it.
Share your result as a grid of colored squares, without giving the answer away. Sparks you used show in it.

Questions and answers

What is Breadbox?

A daily game like 20 Questions, the classic guessing game, where you ask and I answer, but you get 10. The name comes from the old favorite question, "Is it bigger than a breadbox?"

When is there a new puzzle?

Every day at midnight, your time. Everyone gets the same one on the same date.

Who answers the questions?

An AI reads each question and answers it, along with how sure it is. It sees one question at a time, so a fuzzy question can get a fuzzy answer. If an answer looks wrong, tap the thumbs-down beside it to tell me.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It's free, with no account, no sign-up and no ads. Your streak and stats are kept under an anonymous ID, and Settings has a backup link to bring them to another device.

Can I play puzzles I missed?

Yes: Past puzzles, in the menu, has every day since puzzle #1. They earn cards and trophies, but your streak only counts puzzles solved on their own day, before midnight.

Can I play it with a class?

Yes. Breadbox is made for adults, and it's fine to play with a class: the words are everyday things, nobody can send messages to other players, player names are made up by the game, and there are no ads or tracking.
