Akinator’s origin is shrouded in mystery and wonder. Since 2007, many have challenged the genie to read their minds and then said in exasperation, “What? How the heck did it know that?!” The talented guessing machine seems too good to be true. Where could it have come from? Well, you may not believe where the Founders say they got their inspiration.

You can read the full fantastical story of their discovery of the genie on Akinator’s website. Yes, even genies have websites these days.

“He wants to discover characters; then we’ll give him what he wants.” — Arnaud, Founder of Akinator.com

Legend says that two Frenchmen were crossing a desert in the Far East when a sparkling object caught their eye. It was an ancient oil lamp uncovered by the sands of time.

After rubbing the lamp three times, a cloud of smoke erupted from it, and there before them floated the magic genie known as Akinator. This persistently playful genie claimed he could guess any real or fictional character by asking a few simple questions. He was so good at it (and so persistently playful) that the men decided to create a website to house the wondrously talented guesswork of Akinator.

Today, millions of people turn to Akinator for a fun and mystical experience. Wherever it came from, this shrewd (and sometimes smug) genie takes the game of 20 Questions to a whole new level.

If you love playing Akinator on your laptop or your smartphone, you aren’t alone. Millions of people challenge the genie to a round of 20 Questions. Every month, the app has over 5 million active users, and the website sees over 3 million visitors. These people come from all over the globe to try their luck.

Sometimes, if you’re clever, you can come up with a character Akinator doesn’t know about.

Akinator speaks over 16 languages, so its guessing prowess has become a worldwide phenomena. The largest share of users come from the US, Europe, Japan, Russia, and Brazil. Jérôme told us the target audience is teenagers and young adults (many of whom are active daters as well).

You can capture someone’s interest on a date night by pulling up Akinator on your phone and playing a few rounds with someone special. While the original Akinator game is one-player, you can work together with your date to come up with characters and answer the genie’s questions. Playing the game together is a fantastic way to lighten the evening and find common interests with your date.

You may not have heard of Akinator & Co. because it was just launched last year. This unique multiplayer game takes the important idea of ​​the guessing game Akinator and turns it into a family-friendly game played on Apple TV. According to Jérôme, "The main feature is that you play with people. It's like a fight to see who can guess the character first. "

Each player gets a fun animal avatar - everything from parrots to tigers - and then Player One starts by choosing a character's name from the list provided by Akinator. Other players may not see this selection because they will try to guess characters using the Akinator question and Player One's answers as clues.

Akinator & Co keeps track of how many questions have been asked and what answers are correct, so the guessing game is easy to play and enjoy.

After a few questions, the game pauses and let other players try to guess the character. Whoever guesses, in the allotted time, will win. Player One earns points for each question raised and will win all points if no one guesses correctly in 20 questions. After 20 questions, the game will display certain letters in the character's name to give the player the final clue.

What's great about this game is transparency. It is impossible for Player One to deceive or answer questions incorrectly because Akinator oversees everything. After the round, the players can rotate and let others choose the character and try to defeat the group.

"People like it because they can play together," Jérôme said. "In the end, Akinator added scores from all rounds and showed the avatars on the podium for first, second and third place."

Years ago, my brother thought he could masquerade as a 20-question genie, but there was only one Akinator. We soon found the trick, but we were not even upset because we were very interested in the game's promise so that we could always guess whatever character you chose.

From Kim Possible to Charlie Chaplin, Akinator has the amazing ability to know what I think based on my answers to simple questions. It's fun to guess correctly from nowhere, and even more fun when I beat the genie!

Whether you play alone or with loved ones, Akinator keeps your creative juices flowing and gives you an entertaining way to pass time. Couples, family and friends can use this game to learn about each other's interests and get closer together. This addictive competitive game gives a creative spin on classic games and has delighted millions of players from all walks of life.

The next time you plan a date night, you can download Akinator & Co on iTunes to challenge your date to guessing and cheerful games. Have fun!

Once you play the game akinator, you will never forget its name. Akinator is an online game developed by a French company Elokence. The game is based on an old kids game known as Twenty questions in which the Anchor asks few questions and predict which character the player is thinking. Here the game asks questions which is related to the previous one and sorts out its answer database. After asking a series of questions (normally 10-30 questions) the system will predict which character you are thinking.

This is really a nice game to play especially with friends. Using the Akinator website or mobile app, you can ask a serious of questions to your friends and surprise them with the answers. If your friend is thinking some popular character, then akinator can easily find the answer with less than 15 questions. If the character is not much popular, again it asks some more questions. Anyway, there will be a positive result in the end.

Why Akinator Blocked in School, College University and office?

I know that you already know the answer. Akinator is an online game which is so addictive. If it is open to students, they will play the game instead of doing something creative. There are many content filtering software available in the market. Using these software tools, web admin can easily filter the content passing through the network. Not only games but also certain website like social media sites, pornographic sites, video streaming services will be there in the list.

These websites do not contain any educational values or useful information and therefore, they have the right to block them. Also, students won’t misuse the available resources. The is the same for both colleges and offices. At the office, the office head is forced to block these kinds of service to increase the work time. If such opportunities are available for the employees, they might use it during the working hours.

How to unblock Akinator? Two possible solutions

There are a lot of possible ways to block a website or a service. You can add the website to the host file to block them, you can add URL in router settings to block them, you can use content filtering tools to block them and so on. Among them, URL block using the host file is the popular one. If it is so, you can follow the solution 1 to solve it. If the restrictions are using the router or content filtering tools, you can go for the second solution.

However, I am not 100% confident. Sometime both the solutions won’t work. Anyway, try your luck.

#1:- Remove Akinator URL from the Host file

If you are using a Windows system, there will be a host file. This is an OS file which maps hostnames to IP addresses. I am not confusing you anymore with the technical terms. Just do a Google search for more details about host file. So if a website URL is added against the IP address 127.0.0.1, you won’t able to access it. So follow the steps below to check whether akinator website is in the host list.

Step 1:- Run Notepad using the administrator privilege.

Step 2:- Open host file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\

Step 3:- Check akinator website is listed there. If so, remove the line and save the file.

As I mentioned above, you will see the akinator URL in host file only if your web admin blocks it by the host. If not go for the second solution.

#2:- Unblock Akinator using 4everproxy Website

You may already know that you can unblock websites using proxies and VPN. VPN won’t work here because you will probably do not have the permission to install additional software on the school and office systems. So the next possible option is to use proxy websites. Unfortunately, not all proxy sites work for akinator. We found a proxy website which works perfectly for akinator.

Step 1:- Go to website www.4everproxy.com.

Step 2:- Type akinator website URL there. Akinator URL is https://en.akinator.com.

Step 3:- Click Go to continue.

Now the blocked akinator website will display there. You can continue playing the game by clicking the Play button.

NB:- Since you are using a proxy website, you will feel a couple of seconds delay in displaying next questions. Anyway, this will work perfectly compared to other proxy websites.

Conclusion

You can unblock websites using VPN or using proxy websites. But if you are using school or office system, you may not have the permission to install third-party tools. So the remaining option to unblock website is using proxy sites. Unlike other websites, you can’t unblock akinator official website using proxies. Here, after a long research, we found 4everproxy which can unblock akinator game.
