The same approach works. Under-specify a problem, then see what questions candidate asks, and at what level they jump in. When Windows used to ship with Minesweeper, I'd ask candidates how they'd approach implementing Minesweeper for a touchscreen on an embedded device. Good candidates would get clarity on hardware and constraints first.
