Most Likely To

Most Likely To questions put your group on the spot: the app reads a statement, and on the count of three everyone points at the person it fits best. Who would fall asleep first at their own house party? Who would survive the longest on a desert island? Many people simply call it the pointing game, because pointing is exactly what you do.

There is no hiding: you find out instantly what the group really thinks of you. The best moments are when everyone points at the same person and they are genuinely shocked.

Hundreds of statements await, from silly banter to spicier topics. You need at least three players, and the more you are, the better it gets.

How to play

Add the players and sit so everyone can see each other. Pointing needs space!

Hear the statement

The app reads: who is most likely to... For example: forget where they put their keys.

Point on three

One, two, three: everyone points at someone. Pointing at yourself is allowed, if you dare own it.

Count the votes

Whoever gets the most fingers takes the round, followed by the inevitable explaining. Vote mode keeps score for you.

Tips for the perfect game

  • Scoring is fun, but the explanations are the gold: always share why you pointed at someone.
  • It works in new groups too, and you learn what first impression you actually made.
  • Go easy on sensitive topics: the goal is laughter, not roasting.
  • In bomb mode, split up the best friends for extra tension.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pointing game?
The pointing game is another name for Most Likely To. Someone reads out a question such as who is most likely to become famous, everyone counts to three and points at the person who fits best. Whoever gets the most fingers has to explain themselves.
What are the rules of the pointing game?
Sit so everyone can see each other, read a question, count to three and point at the same time. No changing your mind after the count. The person with the most votes takes the round and you move on to the next question. Pointing at yourself is allowed.
Why does Most Likely To need at least 3 players?
Because the game runs on pointing and majority decisions. With two people there is nobody to vote for, from three the dynamic clicks immediately.
What is bomb mode?
A timed variant where the phone goes around and the bomb explodes on whoever holds it when time runs out. Fast, loud and very funny.
Can the game hurt feelings?
The most likely to questions are written with laughter in mind. The edgier topics live in separate categories, so your group decides what to take on.
