Who Knows Me Best?
Create a personal quiz about yourself for friends to answer. Enter your questions and answers, then share and see who knows you best with automatic scoring.
Add 5-20 questions about yourself. Your friends will try to answer them.
How the Game Works
Players answer questions about a chosen 'host' (friend, family member, partner). The host has answered the same questions privately; players are scored against the host's answers. Highest score = 'knows you best'. Used for: birthday parties, anniversaries, friendship celebrations, hen/stag dos, virtual hangouts.
Question categories: factual (what's their birthday, favourite food), preference (would they rather camp or hotel), historical (where did they go to primary school), opinion (what's their dealbreaker in friendship). Mix categories for full picture. Most online tools generate 10-30 questions, with players scoring 1 point per match. Tie-breakers: bonus questions or 'time taken to answer' as second criterion.
Setting Up the Game
Host privately answers all questions first (questionnaire format works well). Players then take same questions, comparing answers to host's privately at scoring time. Variants: live - players answer one question at a time, score after each; bulk - players write all answers, compare at end. Both work; live is more dramatic, bulk is more efficient with large groups.
Group size: 3-30 players. With 30+, group into teams (3-5 each) and let teams answer collectively - faster and reduces complete strangers from being put on the spot. Time: 15-45 minutes typical. With drinks/snacks, can extend to an hour. Popular for hen parties, milestone birthdays, anniversaries.
Best Question Types
Personality reveals: 'What's their guilty pleasure?', 'What's their most-watched movie?', 'What's their favourite Sunday morning routine?'. Trivia/facts: 'What's their middle name?', 'What was their first job?'. Preferences: 'Would they rather a beach holiday or a city break?'. Predictive: 'If they won £10,000, what would they buy first?'. The mix tests both 'do you know the basics' and 'do you understand them deeply'.
Avoid: questions everyone knows (too easy), questions only the host's parents know (unfair), questions that reveal sensitive information unwanted in public. Best questions are 60-80% knowable - challenging but achievable. Reveal interesting things about the host that the group laughs at together.
Variants and Adaptations
Couple version: each partner makes a quiz about themselves; partner takes both quizzes; high accuracy = relationship win. Anniversary edition: questions about shared memories, key dates. Workplace version: employee takes a 'how well does the team know you?' quiz; team-building exercise. Birthday party: birthday person is the host, all guests compete.
Online versions: most popular as printable PDF questionnaires (BuzzFeed-style), Google Forms quizzes, Kahoot tournaments, Zoom-friendly screen-sharing variants. Mobile apps exist that handle the scoring automatically. Generators produce question lists; the host customises and the players play. Use the [Truth or Dare](/truth-or-dare) for a different intimacy game format.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are best?
10-15 for short sessions; 20-30 for full party games. Below 10 doesn't differentiate well; above 30 gets tedious. Match number of questions to time available - 1-2 minutes per question typical for fully discussed answers.
What if someone gets too few right?
Light embarrassment is part of the game. The 'who knows me least' result is often a punchline - it's lighthearted, not actually a critique. Some hosts give the lowest scorer a 'nicely matched' explanation: 'They got 2/15 because they only know me for 6 weeks!'.
Can I prepare the host?
Sometimes the host doesn't see the questions until the game time - keeps it spontaneous. Other times the host writes their answers in advance. Both work; prepared answers are slightly more reliable, spontaneous answers are slightly more fun. Either is fine.
What about awkward answers?
If a question reveals something the host doesn't want shared: skip it. The host should pre-screen questions and remove sensitive ones. The game is for fun, not embarrassment. Some adult versions include skippable 'awkward category' rounds (relationship-related, body-related) for groups comfortable with that.
