How to Play Most Likely To

The basics (takes 30 seconds to learn):

Gather at least 3 people (works best with 4-8). One person reads a question: "Who's most likely to become famous?" On the count of three, everyone points to their answer. The person with the most votes can share why (optional but recommended). That person reads the next question. Play as long as you want—there's no formal ending.

Game variations:

Car Ride Version - Everyone says their answer out loud at the same time. Majority rules, or the driver breaks ties.

Virtual/Zoom Version - One person screen-shares the questions. Everyone types their answer in chat simultaneously.

Deep Conversation Version - After pointing, ask "What made you choose that person?" Let a 2-3 minute conversation happen. This turns a 20-minute game into a 60-minute bonding session.

Pro tips: Start with light, funny questions before going deeper. Let the youngest player go first. If someone's feelings get hurt, pause immediately—the game isn't more important than emotional safety.

Couples and Date Night Questions (20)

Perfect for: Date nights, long-term couples, getting to know each other deeper Pro tip: Start with "The Daily Dance" to laugh about your quirks before moving to the romantic stuff—hard to take yourself too seriously after admitting you hog the blankets

Whether you've been together three months or three decades, you're about to discover how differently you each see your relationship. The blanket hog will finally be called out, the "I don't care where we eat" person will be exposed, and you'll both realize your daily quirks are either adorable or grounds for renegotiation.

Work and Team Building Questions (15)

Perfect for: Team retreats, new hire onboarding, making meetings less painful Pro tip: Start with "The Office Characters" before diving into work talk—people relax when they can laugh about reply-all disasters first

That awkward team retreat where your boss wants "bonding" but nobody wants to admit they don't remember Chad from Marketing's name. These questions break the ice without making it weird.

The Office Characters

  1. Who's most likely to remember everyone's coffee order without writing it down?

For Teens and Young Adults (20)

Perfect for: High schoolers pretending they're too cool, youth groups, rare family dinners when phones stay in pockets Pro tip: Open with "Daily Teen Life"—acknowledge their chaos first, and they'll forget they're supposed to be rolling their eyes

Brace yourself: they WILL eye-roll when you suggest this. But three questions in, they'll forget to act bored and actually engage. These questions live where teens live—in that wild space between "my phone died and I'm going to die" and "wait, who am I actually becoming?"

  1. Who's most likely to forget to charge their phone and have an actual breakdown?
  2. Who's most likely to binge an entire Netflix series in 24 hours (then lie about sleeping)?

  20. Who's most likely to inspire people without even knowing they're doing it?

Pro Tip: Teen eye-rolls last approximately 90 seconds. Then real answers start flowing. The key? Keep it real, let them gently roast each other, don't make it cringe. When they start laughing and arguing about answers, you've won.


Light and Funny (25)

Perfect for: Breaking the ice, pure entertainment, harmless quirks Pro tip: Start with tech fails—everyone has looked for their phone while talking on it

These questions celebrate the hilarious, ridiculous moments that make us human. The parking lot panic. The text sent to the wrong person. The full conversations with yourself in the grocery store. We've all been there, and that's exactly why these work—they're funny because they're true.

  1. Who's most likely to spend an hour looking for their phone while talking on it?
  2. Who's most likely to have the weirdest Google search history (that they'll deny if confronted)?

  19. Who's most likely to have an irrational fear of something harmless (balloons? cotton balls? the number 7?)?

  24. Who's most likely to be overly dramatic about minor inconveniences (ran out of milk = CRISIS)?
  25. Who's most likely to be ruled by their horoscope ("Mercury's in retrograde, I can't make decisions!")?

Pro Tip: Keep these light—laugh WITH people, not AT them. Model affectionate humor to set the right tone. The best laughs come when everyone recognizes themselves in the question.


Future and Dreams (20)

Perfect for: Encouraging aspirations without pressure, celebrating potential before it happens Pro tip: Start with careers before jumping to world-changing—let people warm up to dreaming big

These aren't "what will you be when you grow up" questions—those feel like homework. These are "based on who you are RIGHT NOW, where could that take you?" questions. They celebrate the seeds of potential people are already showing, not some distant fantasy. When someone gets picked for "most likely to start a non-profit," you're noticing the compassion they already have, not making them commit to a career path.

  1. Who's most likely to become a teacher (the kind students remember 20 years later)?
  2. Who's most likely to become an entrepreneur (turning every idea into "what if I...")?
  3. Who's most likely to become a CEO (the kind people want to work for)?
  4. Who's most likely to travel the world (not just vacation—actually GO)?
  5. Who's most likely to live in another country (and call it home)?

  13. Who's most likely to be wildly successful AND generous with it?
  14. Who's most likely to start a non-profit (that actually changes lives)?
  15. Who's most likely to become a mentor to others (changing people one conversation at a time)?
  16. Who's most likely to build something from nothing (against all odds)?
  17. Who's most likely to take the biggest risk for their dreams (terrifying, but worth it)?
  18. Who's most likely to inspire a generation (without even trying)?
  19. Who's most likely to do exactly what they said they'd do (when everyone doubted)?
  20. Who's most likely to surprise EVERYONE with their success (including themselves)?

Pro Tip: Follow up with "What would that look like?" to turn aspirational questions into real goal-setting conversations. Dreams get real when you add details. "I want to travel the world" becomes powerful when someone says "I want to teach English in Japan for a year."


Deep and Meaningful (20)

Perfect for: Late-night talks when the walls come down, revealing who people really are Pro tip: Only use these after comfort is established—the best answers come when people stop performing and start being honest

These aren't small talk questions. You're about to find out who your people really are when the easy path and the right path split. Fair warning: these questions stick with you.

  1. Who's most likely to stand up for what's right even when their voice is shaking?
  2. Who's most likely to speak truth to power (knowing there could be consequences)?

  4. Who's most likely to fight for someone who can't fight for themselves (the real kind, not social media kind)?
  5. Who's most likely to be brave when it matters most (not reckless—brave)?
  6. Who's most likely to put others before themselves (even when they're exhausted)?
  7. Who's most likely to show compassion to everyone (even the difficult people)?
  8. Who's most likely to treat everyone with respect (regardless of status, title, or what they can offer)?
  9. Who's most likely to build bridges instead of walls (when walls are easier)?
  10. Who's most likely to show up when times are tough (not just the good times)?
  11. Who's most likely to see potential in everyone (including people who've given up on themselves)?
  12. Who's most likely to lead with integrity (when cutting corners would be easier)?
  13. Who's most likely to live according to their values no matter what (even when it's inconvenient)?
  14. Who's most likely to practice what they preach (actually walk the talk)?
  15. Who's most likely to choose authenticity over popularity?
  16. Who's most likely to leave the world better than they found it?
  17. Who's most likely to be remembered for their kindness (more than their accomplishments)?
  18. Who's most likely to inspire others to be better (without trying)?
  19. Who's most likely to become the person they're meant to be (despite obstacles)?
  20. Who's most likely to live a life that matters (by their own definition, not society's)?

Pro Tip: Save these for when your group is ready for real vulnerability. If someone says "I don't know," that's a real answer too—self-awareness is rare.


Money and Financial Habits Questions (35)

Perfect for: Teaching financial literacy through play, values conversations Ages: 8+

The only category of its kind online. These questions open natural conversations about money, savings, goals, and financial values—without feeling like a lecture.

Why This Category Matters

Most families avoid talking about money. It feels awkward, too serious, or "not appropriate for kids." But research from Cambridge University shows that kids form money habits by age 7. By the time parents think they're "ready" for money talks, patterns are already set.

These questions let you discover what your kids already think about money, normalize financial conversations in your household, and plant seeds for healthy money habits—all through a game. When your 10-year-old gets picked for "most likely to save their birthday money," you're watching their financial identity form in real time.

  2. Who's most likely to start investing their money early?
  3. Who's most likely to negotiate for a better price or deal?

From Questions to Real Learning

Here's how to turn a simple game question into a life lesson:

Question: "Who's most likely to save their birthday money?"

Level 1 - Surface: Everyone points at Maya.

Level 2 - Reasoning: "Maya, why do you think everyone chose you?" → "Because I saved my birthday money last year to buy my bike."

Level 3 - Values: "What made you decide to save instead of spending it right away?" → "I really wanted the bike more than a bunch of little things."

Level 4 - Life Skill: "That's called delayed gratification—choosing something bigger later instead of something smaller now. That's one of the most important money skills anyone can learn. Adults who can do that build wealth. Adults who can't stay broke."

You just taught a financial literacy concept without a single boring lecture.

Watch Out For

Don't judge different money styles. If someone gets picked for "most likely to spend all their money immediately," don't shame them. Instead: "Everyone has different relationships with money. Some people value experiences now, others value security later. Both are valid—it's about knowing what works for you."

Don't compare siblings. Avoid "Why can't you be more like your sister who saves?" This creates resentment, not learning.

Don't make it too serious. These are still game questions! Drop the teaching moment if kids are rolling their eyes. You can always circle back later.

Real Impact: What Families Report

When families play with these questions, something shifts. Kids who never thought about money start asking questions. Teens who saw saving as "boring" start setting goals. Parents report that talking about finances becomes normal, not awkward.

The game gives everyone permission to explore money topics without the weight of a formal "money talk." It's conversation, not curriculum—which is exactly why it works.

Pro Tip: Play these regularly (monthly family game nights) and watch your kids' financial confidence grow over time.


How to Turn Questions Into Conversations

The pointing is just the beginning. Here's how to go deeper when the moment is right.

The 4-Level Conversation Framework

Level 1: Answer the question (surface) Everyone points. Someone "wins." Move on.

Level 2: Ask "why?" (reasoning) "Why do you think everyone picked you?" or "What made you choose that person?"

Level 3: Share a story (context) "Tell us about a time you saw them do that" or "Has that always been true about you?"

Level 4: Connect to values (depth) "What does that say about what matters to you?" or "Why is that quality important?"

Example: From Laughs to Life Lessons

Question: "Who's most likely to help someone in need?" Level 1: Everyone points at Mom. Level 2: "Mom, why do you think they all chose you?" Level 3: "Tell us about a time you helped someone that really mattered." Level 4: "Where did you learn that helping others was important?"

Suddenly you're having a conversation about generosity, family values, and what it means to be a good person—all from a simple game question.

When to Go Deep vs. Stay Light

Go deep when:

  • Everyone's comfortable and engaged
  • Someone gives an interesting or surprising answer
  • A question naturally sparks curiosity
  • You have time and emotional space

Stay light when:

  • You're just starting the game
  • Someone seems uncomfortable
  • The mood is purely fun
  • People are tired or distracted

You don't have to go deep every time. Sometimes a laugh is enough. But knowing you CAN go deeper transforms this from entertainment into a tool for genuine connection.


FAQ: Your Questions Answered

Can you play Most Likely To with kids? (And at what age?)

Short answer: Yes, starting as young as 5—with the right questions.

Real answer: It depends on your kid. Ages 5-7 can play with concrete questions they can visualize ("Who's most likely to eat all their vegetables?"). Ages 8-12 hit the sweet spot—old enough for abstract thinking, young enough to find it genuinely fun. Ages 13+ might roll their eyes at first, but once the game gets going with interesting questions, they'll engage.

The real test: Can your kid understand that "most likely to become famous" is about personality traits (charisma, confidence) and not just random? If yes, they're ready.

Pro tip for young kids: Simplify phrasing. "Who's most likely to become famous?" becomes "Who's the silliest?" Let them explain their reasoning even if it makes no sense—validating their thinking matters more than "correct" answers.

How many people do you need to play?

Minimum: 3 people (with 2, it's just "you or me" which isn't as fun) Ideal: 4-8 people (enough for variety, small enough to hear everyone) Large groups: 10+ works but gets chaotic—consider splitting into smaller groups

Couples variation: With just 2 people, change the format. Take turns asking "Who's more likely to..." and discuss your answers. It becomes a conversation tool rather than a pointing game.

What if someone's feelings get hurt?

Pause immediately. The game isn't more important than someone's emotional safety.

Validate feelings: "I hear that upset you. That matters. Let's talk about it."

Decide together: Continue or switch activities? Don't force anyone to keep playing if they're uncomfortable.

Prevention tips: Start with light, positive questions. Avoid questions that could highlight insecurities. Watch body language—if someone seems uncomfortable, check in before continuing.

How do you keep it from getting repetitive?

Remix the format:

  • Reverse it: After a round, flip it—"Who's LEAST likely to..."
  • Story mode: Winner must tell a story about WHY everyone picked them
  • Prediction mode: Write answers down first, then reveal simultaneously

Combine categories: Don't play all Funny or all Deep—mix tones to keep energy balanced.

Space out sessions: Don't play every week. Monthly game nights keep it fresh.

Create custom questions: Turn family inside jokes into questions. "Who's most likely to [that thing that happened last summer]?"
