Have pictures of simple items (have like items so focus on needs, what function perform, identify alternatives, use answer to questions to come with with simple criteria and constraints). Examples: bridge, can opener, cell phone, hammer
Pairs use 20 questions model to figure out the functions and physical attributes of the item then guess what they are.
