200 who's most likely to questions, all safe for work
Read a card, count to three, and everyone points. All 200 questions are clean: every one names something people are glad to be picked for.
Who's most likely tobring snacks for the whole team?
Most lists of who’s most likely to questions were written for a party, and plenty of the cards would be awkward to read out in a meeting. These 200 were written for work. Each one names a flattering or harmless trait, so the person the room points at has been paid a compliment. The same questions work for friends and family, and for the two-person version some people call who’s more likely to.
How to play who's most likely to
No supplies, no prep. In a room it takes five steps.
- Sit so everyone can see everyone. A circle or one table. Four to twelve people is the sweet spot; split bigger groups into tables.
- One person reads a question. Use the deck above, or pick a number from the lists below.
- Count to three and point. On three, everyone points at the person who fits best. You can point at yourself.
- The most fingers wins the card. Ties share it. The winner can tell the story behind it or just take a bow.
- The winner reads the next one. Play 10 to 15 questions. That takes about 10 minutes and ends while it's still fun.
On Zoom, Teams or Slack
- Chat waterfall: everyone types a name but waits. On the host's count of three, all press enter together, so nobody copies the first answer.
- Poll: for a team of ten or fewer, put the names in a poll and share the results after each question.
- Cameras on: hold up a sheet of paper with a name on it. Slower, but the reveal is funnier.
- In Slack or Teams chat: post one question a day and let people reply with a name in the thread. Announce the winner the next morning.
- Big call: send groups of five or six to breakout rooms with ten questions each, then share one winner per room.
Anonymously
- Send a short form the day before with five to ten questions and a name field for each answer.
- Only the organizer sees the votes. Read out the winner of each question, never the count or who voted for whom.
- Use this version with a new team, a quiet team or any group where pointing at a colleague would feel awkward.
6 rules that keep it kind, and 3 ways to score
The game is a vote about people, so it needs guard rails. Read these out before the first card.
- Flattering or harmless traits only. If winning the vote wouldn't feel like a compliment, skip the card.
- Never vote on a flaw. Nothing about being late, messy, forgetful or loud, and nothing about looks, age, money, dating or drinking.
- Anyone can pass, on a question or on a vote, and nobody asks why.
- The reader can skip any card without giving a reason.
- Spread the wins. After three cards, a winner hands the next one to the runner-up.
- The winner gets the last word. They can agree, deny it or tell the story, and then you move on.
Three ways to keep score
1. Collect the cards
Whoever wins a question keeps it. At the end, read each person's pile back to them as a list of titles. It works as a round of compliments, so nobody needs a total.
2. Match the room
You score a point each time you pointed at the person who won. The best reader of the room wins. This moves attention from who is picked to who guessed well.
3. Call your own
Before the count, anyone who thinks they'll win the question raises a hand. A correct call earns two points, a wrong one earns a laugh.
