Why You Should Ask Yourself Smart Questions
A list of 25 Smart Questions at the end for several areas in your life
A few months ago, a friend of mine introduced me to a mobile game called “Dark Stories”. It was, according to him, a pretty popular game among his computer science classmates. So here we were at work, reviewing some software codes when he suddenly asks: “dude, have you played this game called Dark Stories? I am damn sure you’ll like it!”. Noticing the excitement in his voice, I asked him what it is and how it is played.
So this is how it goes (as per this excerpt from the game description from the Android App Store here):
A person -chosen as narrator- picks a mystery and reads its description aloud.
Then he/she reads its solution without telling the other people. The rest of the players then have to make questions in order to solve the mystery.The narrator can only answer the questions using “Yes”, “No” or “It is not relevant”. The only possible solution is the one given at the back of each mystery card. If the answer is still not clear enough, the players must follow the narrator’s interpretation of the mystery.
