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

Ever wondered who's secretly most likely to rob a bank or star in a reality TV show?

If you're like me, finding a cracking adult party game to spice up your Friday nights isn't always easy. Sure, you've done your fair share of card-flipping, beer-ponging, and poorly executed charades—but have you truly uncovered your mates' deepest, darkest secrets yet? That's where "Who's Most Likely To" struts onto the stage.

Okay, so what's the deal with "Who's Most Likely To"?

This isn't your grandmother's tea party entertainment. "Who's Most Likely To" is a hilariously revealing game that exposes hidden traits you never knew existed among your friends. It's simple yet dangerously entertaining. Someone reads out a statement—think, "Who's most likely to end up on a reality TV dating show?"—and the group votes on who fits the bill.

The beauty? You learn things about people that you can't unknow. Yep, good luck shaking that mental image of Dave on The Bachelor. And that's exactly what makes this game brilliantly awkward and addictive.

Getting your party game sorted

Before you kick off the chaos, gather your crowd, some drinks (optional but highly recommended), and prep a list of juicy questions. Personally, I've found that adding embarrassing or edgy questions always ramps up the laughs. Think along the lines of, "Who's most likely to get arrested for public nudity?" Trust me—pure gold.

If you're struggling for ideas, don't worry; I've found this fantastic list of icebreaker questions to get your creativity flowing. They’re good conversation starters, and some are ripe for twisting into a "Who's Most Likely To" format.

Making your own rules (or lack thereof)

What I love most about party games like this is that rules are more guidelines than strict commands—think pirate code, but way less serious. For example, you can make the voting anonymous for added suspense, or keep it public to stir the pot. You can even switch things up and add dares for whoever gets voted the most likely. The only rule that matters? Have fun, embarrass responsibly, and try not to lose friends (at least not permanently).

Oh, and if you're looking to spice things up even further, why not check out something slightly more colourful (literally) like our own Blurgh game? It’s messy, hilarious, and ideal if you have up to 20 rowdy mates keen for chaos.

Getting psychological, sort of

Playing "Who's Most Likely To" can feel a bit like a sneaky psych test—no white lab coats required. It’s funny how a simple question reveals your mates' inner weirdos, pranksters, or potential criminal masterminds. The laughter from hearing your shy friend unanimously voted as "most likely to become a TikTok star" is absolutely priceless. I’ve also noticed a peculiar thing happening: people actually get better at the game after a few drinks. Or maybe they just stop caring who's voting for them—either way, it's great entertainment.

Interestingly enough, there's science behind why we love games that involve questions and surprises. Apparently, humans have a natural curiosity for uncovering hidden social dynamics. Don’t believe me? Check out this gem. Yep, turns out we're just nosy by nature.

The secret ingredient—patterns

One sneaky way I've found to make the game even better (and mess with my friends’ heads) is adding a hidden pattern into the answers. For instance, vote for the person sitting directly to your left every third question, no matter what. Watching everyone else slowly realise there's a weird pattern going on is almost as fun as the game itself. It’s a clever trick inspired by some party game discussions I've seen. Sneaky? Yes. Fun? Absolutely.

Party responsibly (sort of)

Now, as hilarious as it is watching your friends squirm and giggle, it’s always best to keep the vibe fun, not fatal. Remember, the goal is laughter, not therapy sessions or full-blown identity crises. Keep it silly, keep it social, and for the love of all that's holy, don't pick fights over "most likely to ruin Christmas dinner" (even if it's obviously Uncle Steve).

Oh, and if your friends are still keen for more after they've revealed all their embarrassing potential scenarios, why not test their cognitive limits with our original game, F**k. The Game? Just a fair warning: friendships may be tested, and you might learn swear words you never knew existed.

Need more party inspiration?

Don't stress—I've got you covered. Whether you're after something you can play online via video chat (yes, it's possible!), or you're keen to try party games without alcohol, I've curated plenty of ideas to make your next bash unforgettable.

So, ready to find out which friend secretly dreams of running away to join the circus? Gather the gang, unleash those questions, and remember—what happens at your party should ideally stay there. Unless it’s hilarious, then please tell everyone immediately.
