Is this game just like "The Game of Things"?

I'd say they are in the same realm. I personally enjoy The Game of Things a lot more than Say Anything. Where the Game of Things is more about everyone choosing who said what, Say Anything is fine-tuned to the person whose 'turn' it is. They also can know very well who it was that wrote down the answers and each player can plea their case of why their answer is the right answer. Where as with the Game of Things, the point of the game is to figure out who wrote what. In a large party scenario, Game of Things easily trumps. But with a intimate group of friends, Say Anything can really shine.

Can you play with a large group or split into 2groups

The game has limited pads (I believe 8? I'm not 100% sure) to write things on but if you have your own dry erase boards or simply pieces of paper, then its very easy to split the game into multiple, smaller, groups.

I s this the game in which a person has a question card and people try to write what they think the person's answer would be?

From BoardGameGeek.com: Say Anything is a light-hearted game about what you and your friends think. It gives you the chance to settle questions that have been hotly debated for centuries. For instance, "What is the most overrated band of all time?" or "Which celebrity would be the most fun to hang out with for a day?" So dig deep into your heart or just come up with something witty - this is your chance to Say Anything!How to Play1) Ask a question from the card you draw. Ex:- If you could have a "BIG" anything, what would it be?- What's the most important invention of the last century?- Which website would be hardest to live without?- What's the best activity for a first date?- What's the worst thing to say to a cop after getting pulled over?2) Everyone else writes an answer and throws it face-up on the table as fast as possible. No duplicate answers are allowed!3) Secretly choose your favorite response using a genuine state of the art SELECT-O-MATIC 5000.4) Everyone else has two betting tokens to bet on which answer you chose. They can bet both tokens on one answer or split them between two different answers.

Do any of you recommend the game for children younger than 13? What would be challenging or inappropriate for younger players?

You can choose which question you want to have answered out of the 5 on the card, but some are more adult (nothing inappropriate, but just "heavy" in thinking) related. We play it with my nieces who are 11, 13 and 17. We get silly with the answers. If you have Apples to Apples, it is much like that but this is much more fun because individuals can write their own answers instead of picking from the ones in their hands and in Apples to Apples the kids may not understand/know about some of the history/people. There are other versions of the game, can't tell you what the name of the board game is but it is similar to Say Anything. THERE IS A SAY ANYTHING "FAMILY VERSION"
