About Who's Most Likely?
What is Who's Most Likely?
Who's Most Likely? is a website and app that brings party games for friends together in one place. It is named after its first game: a question like "Who's the most forgetful?" appears on screen, and everyone picks a friend at the table. Today the site and the app have 20 games and quizzes. You can play them for free in your browser, with no account needed.
The idea is simple. Most evenings with friends do not fail because there is nothing to do; they fail because nobody wants to be the one who explains a game for ten minutes. We try to make games that are understood in one sentence, played with whatever phones are already on the table, and that leave people talking about each other instead of staring at a screen.
Who makes it?
Who's Most Likely? is made by Umai Works, a small independent studio that builds mobile apps and websites. The game rules, questions and screens are all created in-house, by the same small team that runs the site and answers the mail.
How the questions are written
Every question is written by hand and read one by one. We do not generate question banks in bulk. When a question is unclear, repeated, too long for a phone screen or likely to cause an argument that has nothing to do with the game, it is fixed or removed.
A few rules guide the writing:
- A question should make sense without any explanation. If you have to say "it is like this, but..." it needs another draft.
- It should work for a group, not only for the person who wrote it. A question about a "friend who always arrives late" works at almost any table; an in-joke does not.
- Funny is welcome, hurtful is not. The spicy and bold categories tease, but they are labelled as such, so a group can decide how far to go.
- Packs for different moods stay separate. Light questions for new groups, bolder ones for people who already trust each other.
New questions are added over time. When a question is added to a game, it appears on that game's list on the questions page too.
Who is it for?
Friend groups, big family gatherings, teams taking a short break at work, and couples looking for a two-player game. Most games take a few minutes to learn. In most of the party games, nobody wins and nobody gets knocked out; the point is less the score and more the conversation that follows.
If you are not sure where to start, the questions page helps you choose a list by the people in the room, and the blog has longer guides for particular evenings, such as hosting a game night or picking games for a mixed-age dinner.
What games are there?
Party games: Who's Most Likely?, Empathy, Closest Guess, OK or Not OK?, Never Have I Ever, The Auction and Quiz Night. These are made for a crowded table. Most of them can be played either in an online room, with everyone on their own phone, or on one phone, with someone reading the question aloud.
Mini games: First Date, Right on Time, Perfect Circle, Memory Chain, Up or Down, Scales, Guess the Number, Minefield, Hangman, This or That? and Blind Ranking. Some are two-player duels; others are short games you can also play solo.
Quizzes: Love quizzes and character quizzes, each giving you a result after a handful of questions. They are written for fun and are not a diagnosis of anything.
Every game has its own page explaining how to play, the rules and example questions. Full question lists, which you can read without starting a game, are on the questions page.
The blog
The blog is where we write about the evenings these games are made for: how to host a game night, what to play on a long drive, how to keep a long-distance relationship playful. Every article is written by a person, in the language it is published in. The English articles are not translations of the Turkish ones; they are written on their own, for English-speaking readers, so they may cover different occasions.
How is it free?
The games are free. We cover our costs in two ways: ads and an optional Premium upgrade. Ads are served by Google. Premium is a one-time purchase in the app, not a subscription: it unlocks the locked question packs, lets you open 20-player rooms and removes ads. Online rooms are free up to 8 players, up to 20 with Premium in the app. Every game can be played without Premium.
Privacy
You do not need an account to play, and we do not ask for personal information that identifies you. In an online room, the nickname you type and the votes you cast are used to show the game's result and to check that the games work properly; rooms left unfinished are deleted automatically after 48 hours, and finished rooms after 30 days. When you play on one phone, your data stays on your device. How ads are shown and how data is deleted is explained in our privacy policy.
The app
The Who's Most Likely? app is available on the App Store and Google Play, in 28 languages. Download links are on the download page.
