Akinator is pretty cool (http://en.akinator.com/). You think of a real or fictional character and play the game twenty questions with this genie dude interface. If you don’t know what twenty questions is, you are basically asked questions about the character you’ve decided on, to which you respond yes or no (although with this thing you can also choose “probably/partially,” “probably not/not really,” or “I don’t know”). After twenty questions it tries to guess the character.

For fun, here’s a list of characters it did and didn’t get correctly for some of my friends and me:
