How to Play Most Likely To on a Video Call or Over Text

Most Likely To was made for a circle of friends in one room, but it adapts surprisingly well to screens. The only thing it really needs is a way for everyone to see the question and answer at the same time — and every video call app and group chat can do that. Here is how to set it up on the platforms people actually use, plus a few tricks that make remote rounds just as loud as in-person ones.

On a Video Call: Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams

The easiest setup has one host who runs the game for everyone else.

1. Open the game. The host opens the Most Likely To game on a laptop, picks categories and switches to Point mode.
2. Add the players. Type everyone's name so the game can keep score. Use first names or nicknames that everyone recognises.
3. Share the screen. Share just the browser tab so notifications stay private. On Zoom and Meet, tick "share tab audio" if you want to share a playlist too.
4. Read, count, answer. The host reads the question and counts down. On "point", everyone types a name in the meeting chat at the same moment — or points at their camera if you prefer chaos.
5. Award the title. The host taps the name that got the most votes. The end screen shows every player's titles to screenshot and share.

For work meetings, choose the work-safe questions and keep it to about ten questions as an icebreaker. For friends, mix friends, funny and party questions.

On Discord

Discord servers suit a slightly different setup, because people often drop in and out.

• In a voice channel: the host streams the browser tab with the game, reads each question and everyone answers in the text channel.
• With reactions: post the question as a message with one emoji reaction per player (assign each player an emoji). Everyone reacts, and the most-reacted emoji wins.
• As a daily question: post one "most likely to" question a day in a fun channel. It is an easy, low-effort way to keep a community talking.

Over Text, WhatsApp or iMessage

A group chat version is slower but has its own charm, because people have time to write the savage explanation.

1. Pick a host for the day or the evening.
2. Post one question at a time. Copy a question from any category page — for example "Who's most likely to become famous for something ridiculous?"
3. Use a poll. WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage all support polls. Add each person's name as an option so votes are counted automatically.
4. Reveal and roast. When everyone has voted, the host announces the winner and the winner must reply with a defence.

Group chat rounds work especially well for long-distance friends, family chats and couples who live apart. The couples questions make a sweet evening game over text.

Tips for Better Online Rounds

• Answer at the same moment. The countdown matters even online; it stops people from copying the first answer.
• Keep rounds short. Ten to fifteen questions is plenty on a call. Stop while everyone still wants more.
• Give the winner the mic. The explanations are the best part — let the "winner" unmute and defend themselves.
• Use Vote mode in person, Point mode online. Vote mode passes one phone around, so it suits a single room better than a video call.
• Add inside jokes. Collect a few questions about your group beforehand and paste them into "Add your own questions".
• Screenshot the results. The end screen makes a great group chat souvenir — or use the Share button.
