What’s the 21 questions game?
The purpose of the game is to ask someone (solo, or a member of a group) 21 questions, all of which must be answered honestly.

What is a deflecting question?
In negotiation, and elsewhere, evading and deflecting questions is a common way to refuse a request or avoid answering a question. We do this by e.g. answering with a question, answering partially or perhaps a different question, brushing it off as not important, openly refuse to answer, or even attack the question.
