I used to play it like this, not as a child, but more of teenage drinking/smoking age sort of thing.
I think we focused on slightly sillier questions though, such as (as far as I can remember):
"Do they have the cold, dead eyes of a killer," and
"Do they ever start a sentence with 'I'm not racist, but...'"
mixed in with stuff like
"does it look like they've just cacked their pants?" (Soiled themselves)
They don't, that's the fun part. You have to make it up like there's some older woman in a flower hat, she definitely has cats, there's some other guy with a pointy face and glasses, he has atleast one cat probably is black and sits in his lap as he reads a book each night.
Bonus : you have to justify why you put down each person.

Joke's on him, they're all Odo.

Actual fun way to play guess who. You can't ask any questions about their physical appearance, only ask about guesses about them.
"do they have grandkids?"
"do they have a full time job?"
"do they regularly see a therapist?"
It's hectic and chaotic but way more fun than "do they have glasses?"

Exactly. It's not like playing with your child thing, just being stupid with friends thing.

We have considered making our own with family member cards.
I would assume you do something similar for this because no way do all of the canonical characters have a backstory.

Yeah, this just seems like a way to teach your kids how to stereotype strangers based on appearance.

It's not for your kids. It's for making jokes with your friends after a few beers.

Why is a man with a goatee playing with a little girl? I don’t remember this boxart.

And why is she flipping down Odo? He should be doing it on his board since he was asking

I'm not a bootlicker, so anyone I like isn't a cop, fascist.
