Most Likely To Game Rules: Point Fingers & Take Sips!

What's the Most Likely To Game Rules? 🤔

"Who is most likely to...?" It's the start of a question that can lead to some hilarious discussions, good-natured ribbing, and maybe a few surprisingly accurate (or wildly inaccurate) group judgments! "Most Likely To" is a super simple and engaging party game where players collectively decide who amongst them best fits a given scenario. It's all about group perception, pointing fingers (literally!), and sharing a few laughs – and sips!

What You'll Need 🛠️

This game keeps the requirements minimal:

Players: 3 or more people. The more players, the more varied the pointing can be!
Drinks: For the person deemed "most likely."
Your Group's Collective Opinion: This is the most important ingredient!

Getting Set Up ⚙️

Gather Your Group: Have everyone sit in a circle or around a table so it's easy for everyone to see and point at each other.
Drinks at the Ready: Make sure everyone has their beverage handy.

How to Play: The Pointing Game! 👉

The gameplay is very straightforward:

Choose Someone to Start: Pick a player to ask the first "Most likely to..." question. The role of asking questions will then rotate around the circle.
Ask the "Most Likely To..." Question:
- The designated player asks a question that starts with "Who is most likely to..." followed by a scenario.
- Examples:
  - "...binge-watch an entire TV series in one weekend?"
  - "...trip over nothing?"
  - "...survive a zombie apocalypse?"
  - "...secretly be a superhero?"
- The questions can be silly, intriguing, challenging, or anything in between!
The Countdown & Point:
- After the question is asked, someone (often the question-asker) does a quick countdown, like "One... Two... Three... Point!"
- On "Point!" (or "Go!"), everyone simultaneously points at the person in the group whom they think is most likely to do or be what was described in the question. You can't point at yourself!
Tally the Fingers & Take Sips:
- Count how many fingers are pointing at each person.
- The person (or people, in case of a tie) who has the most fingers pointing at them must take a drink.
- Sip Count: A common rule is that the "winner" (the one with the most points) takes a number of sips equal to the number of fingers pointing at them. So, if 5 people point at you, you take 5 sips.
Rotate the Questioner: The role of asking the "Most likely to..." question then passes to the next person in the circle (e.g., the person to the left of the previous questioner), and they come up with a new scenario.

Ending the Game 👋

"Most Likely To" is a game that doesn't have a fixed end point or a traditional "winner." It's played for as long as the group is enjoying it. You can stop when:

You run out of creative questions (though a good group can keep them coming!).
People decide it's time for a new game or activity.
The laughter (or the drinks) have run their course for the evening.

The fun is in the discussion, the pointing, and the shared amusement.

The Dojo's Take 🍻

"Most Likely To" is a fantastic icebreaker and a brilliant way to get a read on group dynamics in a fun, lighthearted manner. It always sparks conversation – people will want to defend why they pointed at someone, or why they shouldn't have been pointed at! The simplicity is its strength, making it easy for anyone to jump in and play immediately.

Drink Responsibly 🙏

While the sips are part of the fun, remember that it's all in good spirits. Encourage responsible drinking, ensure no one feels unfairly targeted (keep questions light and fun if you're unsure of the group's comfort levels), and prioritize a good time for everyone.

Your Questions Answered: FAQ ❓

What makes a "good" Most Likely To question? Good questions are usually relatable enough that everyone can form an opinion, but specific enough to be interesting. They can be funny, slightly embarrassing (in a good way), or highlight quirky personality traits. Avoid questions that are genuinely mean-spirited or too personal unless you know your group very well.
Can you point at yourself? Generally, no. The fun is in the group deciding about others. If you really think you're the most likely, you just have to hope others agree!
What happens if there's a tie for who gets the most points? If two or more people have the same highest number of fingers pointing at them, they all drink the designated number of sips. Shared glory (or gloom!).
What if someone doesn't want to drink? As with any drinking game, participation in the drinking part should be optional. They can still play, point, and be pointed at, but just skip the sips. Or, you can have a fun, non-drinking "penalty" like having to tell a joke or do a silly dance if they get the most points.
How do you ensure questions don't get too repetitive? Having the question-asking role rotate helps. If you're using a game app or a pre-made list of questions (like the Drinking Dojo version!), that takes the pressure off players to be constantly creative on the spot.
