Botticelli
Botticelli is a game frequently played by members of the University of Chicago quizbowl team while driving to tournaments. The game is similar to 20 questions and involves the guessing the identify of a notable figure from history, literature, or popular culture.
Different sets of rules for Botticelli were followed by Seth Teitler and Andrew Yaphe.
Variants
Vespucci, most closely associated with Peter Austin, is identical to Botticelli, but involves the guessing of a geographic location.
Botulism is a hypothetical variant of Botticelli first described by Bruce Arthur. Botulism would involve the guessing of objects or concepts, rather than persons or locations. No game of Botulism has ever been played, and Arthur himself has argued that it is probably not a good idea for a game.
Fettucine is a variant devised by the Stanford quizbowl team on their trip to ACF Winter 2009 at Caltech. It involves the guessing of food items.
Tamagotchi is another variant invented by the Stanford quizbowl team on their trip to ACF Winter 2009. It involves the guessing of toys or games.
Cesar Pelli is a variant thought up by Auroni Gupta, involving the guessing of notable South Americans.
