Who’s most likely to questions ask the group to point at the person who best fits a funny prediction or a habit: “Who is most likely to adopt ten pets?” Everyone counts to three and points, and the person with the most fingers on them gets the title. Below are 162 original most likely to questions for kids, family, friends, work and the classroom, plus the rules and how to play on one phone.
Every question here is kind: about talents, habits and happy futures, never about looks, relationships or anything that went wrong, so nobody minds being picked.
How to play who’s most likely to
- Sit in a circle so everyone can see everyone.
- Read a question. Take turns being the reader. Each question below starts with “Who is most likely to…”, so say that part first.
- Count to three and point at the person who fits best. Pointing at yourself is allowed.
- Give out the title. Whoever has the most fingers on them gets it; a tie shares it. If the pointing is all over the place, nobody gets it this time.
- Keep going. After ten or twenty questions, see who collected the most titles, and read out a few of the best ones.
What makes a kind most likely to question
- It’s a compliment or a laugh. “Most likely to remember everyone’s birthday” is a nice thing to be picked for.
- It’s about what people do, not how they look. Habits, talents and funny futures are fair game.
- It never singles someone out. If a question could only be about one person, and they wouldn’t enjoy it, leave it out.

Using most likely to in class
Most likely to makes a good get-to-know-you game for the first week of term or a quick reset on a Friday. A few tips:
- Read the questions yourself. Pick from the Classroom deck or the list above, and skip any that don’t suit your group.
- Use a secret vote if pointing in front of everyone would make some students shy. Only the counts are shown, never who voted for whom.
- Aim for everyone. Over a few rounds, try to choose questions that fit different students, so the titles spread around the room.
- Celebrate the titles. Write them on the board at the end, like small awards.
How to play Most Likely To on one phone
Most Likely To on this site deals the questions and keeps everyone’s titles on a single phone or tablet. It takes 3 to 12 players and needs no sign-up.
The reader reads the card out loud: “Who is most likely to…”
Count to three. Everyone points at once, or votes in secret.
The reader taps the winner, or the phone counts a secret vote.
The person picked gets the title. The next person reads.
- Enter the names of everyone playing.
- Choose the decks: Kids, Family, Friends, Work or Classroom, or several at once. A “Play this deck” link on this page opens the game with that deck already picked.
- Choose how to vote. With everyone pointing, the reader taps the person with the most fingers on them. With a secret vote, the phone goes round and each person picks a name behind a pass screen; the reveal shows only the counts.
- Collect the titles. At the end, every person’s titles are listed, and the one with the most wins.
Questions don’t repeat within a game, and you can add your own, saved on your device. For the full rules, read the Most Likely To rules.
