Most Likely To Questions for Work and Team Meetings: how it works
At work the game needs a rule the friends' version does not: every card has to be something a colleague is glad to be named for. These 96 most likely to questions for work are compliments and harmless office habits: snack drawers, mute buttons, printer jams.
How to run it in a meeting or on a call
In a room, one person reads the card, the team counts to three and everyone points. On a call, everyone types a name in the chat and sends it on three. The winner says a sentence about why, presses Next card and reads. Nobody keeps score: rules vary, and at work the story behind the vote is the point. Skip moves past a card about a break room you do not have.

Eight groups, and what the deck leaves out
Match the group to the team: Video calls and remote days for a distributed team, Coffee, lunch and the break room for one that shares a kitchen. Helpful colleagues is all praise, such as who's most likely to know where anything is on the shared drive? Easy cards are compliments, Medium cards name a habit, Hard cards suit a team at ease with each other. No card is about performance, pay, lateness, looks, age, health, family or faith. An organizer can read all 96 under the tool first.
Tips
Open on Easy with Helpful colleagues. Being named for fixing the printer jam is a good start to a Monday.
Managers vote last, or not at all. A team votes more freely when the boss has not pointed yet.
Adding your own cards? Use one test: would the person named be glad to hear it in front of a client?
Questions and answers
Are these questions safe for the office?
The deck was written against the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's list of protected characteristics (race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability and genetic information), and no card comes near any of them. None mentions performance, pay or promotion. This is a party deck, not legal advice, so your own HR policy comes first.
How many people do you need, and how long does it take?
Five is enough for a vote to mean something, and one room works up to about thirty. Past that, each table agrees on a name. Allow thirty seconds a card: ten cards open a weekly meeting.
Does it work on a video call?
Yes. The reader shares the screen, and everyone sends a name in the chat on three. The Video calls and remote days group is made for it: who's most likely to be the first to say "you're on mute"? A virtual scavenger hunt list makes a good follow-up.

How this list was compiled: Written by the Game Night Generator editors on 2026-09-18; no list was copied from anywhere. Every card names an office setting (a desk, a meeting, a video call, the break room, the inbox, a team outing), so that the deck cannot be swapped with a friend-group deck. Every card is either a compliment or a harmless habit. Screen: the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission page '3. Who is protected from employment discrimination?' (https://www.eeoc.gov/employers/small-business/3-who-protected-employment-discrimination, read on 2026-09-19) lists race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or transgender status), national origin, age (40 or older), disability and genetic information (including family medical history). No card touches any item on that list, and the deck also leaves out performance, pay, promotion, lateness, sick days, retirement, family plans, appearance, clothing, alcohol and dating. The screen describes how the list was written; it is not legal advice. Levels are ours: easy cards are compliments (being named is praise), medium cards name a harmless habit, hard cards name a habit that only a team at ease with one another should laugh about. Most likely to is a folk game with no published rulebook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_likely_to returned 404 on 2026-09-19, so the page describes one common way to play, says that rules vary, and makes no claim about where the game comes from.
