Most Likely To

Thirty prompts and a scoreboard that keeps count all evening. The tool never suggests a name — that part is the group’s job, and it is the whole game.

Point at somebody, then type their name. The scoreboard is a count of how often a name was typed this evening — it is not a ranking of anybody as a person, and the prompts are all things people can laugh at.

What this tool does

A prompt generator with a scoreboard attached. The tool draws a most-likely-to prompt, the group points at somebody, and you type that name in. The board keeps count across the whole evening, so a pattern builds up over the session and there is something to argue about at the end.

Two things it deliberately does not do. It never suggests a name — the tool has no idea who is in the room, and a game that volunteers a victim is a game that picks on somebody. And it keeps the board behind the draw, so the running tally is something you look at rather than something permanently on screen, which is the difference between a game and a pile-on. The prompts are all things a person can laugh at: chaotic, forgetful, over-prepared. None of them are about appearance, intelligence or money.

How to use it

  1. Pick a category, or leave it on Anything for all thirty prompts.
  2. Press Draw a prompt and read it out. Everyone points at once — that is the actual game.
  3. Type the name of whoever got the most fingers and press Award, or just press Enter.
  4. Keep going. The scoreboard at the bottom updates as you play, and it resets with the Clear button or when you close the tab.

Common use cases

  • A big group

    The pointing is the fun part and it needs no equipment beyond the prompt on a screen.

  • A long evening

    Because the scoreboard accumulates, this one gets better the longer it runs.

  • A work social

    The everyday-habits category is safe ground for colleagues — forgetfulness and lateness rather than anything personal.

  • Family

    Every prompt is something a person can laugh at, and nothing targets anybody’s appearance or circumstances.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool pick who the prompt is about?

No. It only draws the prompt. Deciding who it applies to is the group’s job, and that is the actual game. A tool that named somebody would just be picking on them.

Is the scoreboard a ranking of people?

No. It counts how often a name was typed this evening. It says nothing about anybody as a person, and it clears when you close the tab or press Clear.

Are the prompts ever mean?

No. They are all habits and behaviour a person can laugh at — being late, being chaotic, being over-prepared. Nothing about appearance, intelligence, money or anyone’s circumstances.

Is anything saved between sessions?

No. The board lives in the page and is gone when the tab closes. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is written to storage.
