In Genesis 42-45, the story of Joseph's reuniting with his brothers is told. Although Joseph recognizes them, he hides his identity from them. And then he toys with them. Or maybe he is just trying to find out what kind of people they were. Of course, he could have revealed himself immediately and asked questions, but I think his methods were much more accurate in disclosing their character and intent. I find this story to be such a page turner and am drawn into the emotion of his reunion when he actually reveals his identity.
