How Do You Play 'Who's Most Likely To' At A Party?

Ever wondered who among your friends is secretly planning world domination?

Alright, maybe that's just me. But really, have you ever looked around at your mates at a party and thought, "Who’s most likely to wake up in a different city after a night out?" If you have, congrats—you've basically already played the Who's Most Likely To game.

I've thrown a few (okay, many) parties, and let me tell you, the "who's most likely to" game is an absolute crowd favourite. It's hilarious, a little embarrassing, and perfect for breaking the ice—especially if your group doesn't know each other too well yet.

Wait, so how exactly do you play?

It's simple enough for even your most distracted friend (yeah, looking at you, Dave). You sit in a circle, you pick someone to ask a question—something scandalous or hilarious like, "Who's most likely to become a millionaire overnight and lose it all by morning?"—and then everyone simultaneously points at the person they think fits the question best. Yep, it's that straightforward. And somehow, it never gets old.

I've heard some wild questions pop up at my parties, and yes, the person who's "most likely" usually ends up denying everything. But that's half the fun, right? Everyone gets to defend their honour (or laugh until they cry).

If you need some inspiration, check out this brilliant list of question ideas. They're perfect for making even your quietest friends blush or your boldest ones squirm.

Why does everyone love "Who's Most Likely To"?

I reckon it boils down to one thing: everyone secretly enjoys being the centre of attention—even if it's just for a slightly embarrassing moment. Plus, you get to see what your friends really think of you (spoiler: it’s probably as bad as you suspect!).

And hey, speaking of epic party games, if you haven't tried our very own f**k. the game yet, you're seriously missing out. It's chaotic, colourful, and it'll test your brain's ability to handle confusion and profanity in equal measure. What more could you possibly ask for?

Oh, and by the way—if you're into customising your fun, we've got an awesome DIY expansion pack that lets you create your very own cards. If you ever thought, "I wish I could make this even more outrageous," we've got you covered.

Where did this ridiculous game even come from?

Now, you'd think a game this universally hilarious would've come from some genius board game inventor locked away in their basement. But no, "Who's Most Likely To" is one of those brilliant games that somehow just appeared at parties, schools, and pubs without a clear inventor. It's like the party game equivalent of a meme—no one really knows how it started, but we’re all glad it did.

In fact, it's become such a staple at gatherings that it's popped up in movies, reality TV, and even celebrity TikToks. Yep, even celebs can't resist finding out who's most likely to embarrass themselves in public (spoiler: usually all of them).

How to keep "Who's Most Likely To" fun and fresh?

The key to making "Who's Most Likely To" endlessly entertaining is keeping your questions fresh and tailored (oops, not that word—personalised!) to your group. Got a mate who's a bit of a conspiracy theorist? Toss in a "most likely to believe the earth is flat" question. Is someone notorious for overspending? Ask who's most likely to buy a yacht after payday (hint: it'll always be Sarah).

I've even found that combining this game with other games like our own Blurgh, which can accommodate up to 20 players (yes, twenty!), can amp things up to hilarious new levels. Imagine asking, "Who's most likely to completely mess up their turn in Blurgh?" and everyone immediately pointing at poor Dave (seriously, Dave, step up your game).

Party on!

Now that you've got the rundown, you're basically ready to host the best party ever—or at least, one that won't bore everyone into early retirement. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, just chilling with mates, or hosting your first (and hopefully not last) epic bash, "Who's Most Likely To" is the go-to game for instant laughs.

And hey, if you've got questions, funny stories, or you just want to tell me how incredibly right I am about Dave, drop me a message via our contact page. I love hearing from fellow party enthusiasts and exchanging ideas on how to make each party even better than the last.

Cheers, legends—and remember, if anyone asks who's most likely to write the best party-game blogs on the internet, kindly point them my way.
