Who Knows Me Better Questions for Friends and Family: how it works
In the who knows me better game, two people compete to answer questions about a third, who confirms each answer. This page holds 174 who knows me better questions with one checkable answer each, in sets for friends, a best friend, family and siblings, plus a scoreboard.
How to play from one phone
The player everyone is guessing about reads each card aloud and, before anyone answers, writes the answer down. That ends most arguments. Type the contestants' names over Team 1 and Team 2, press +1 for each right answer, and use Add a team for a third or fourth contestant. Next card deals another; Skip puts back a card with no clear answer. Rules vary, so agree on a winning score first; ten works.

What each of the four sets asks
For friends covers what a friend sees from the outside: what is on my phone's lock screen? For a best friend goes one step further: what is my comfort movie? For family reaches back to childhood: what word did I say wrong for years as a small child? For siblings plays as a sibling questions game of its own: what did I blame on you that was really me? The cards that split two close contestants sit on Hard.
Tips
No card asks for a middle name, a birthplace, a first pet or a first car, the answers accounts use as security questions. Hold your own cards to that if the round may be filmed.
Tied? Deal from Closest number wins: how many photos are on my phone? The nearest guess takes the point, and the phone settles it.
The closest games pit people who know you from different places: a sibling against a best friend.
Questions and answers
What are good who knows me better questions?
Good who knows me better questions have one answer the subject can prove on the spot: a pizza order, a shoe size, a lock screen. "What is my favorite color?" is fair. "What am I like?" is not, because nobody can score it. Number questions make fair tiebreakers, since the closest guess wins.
Are there funny cards for a party?
Yes. The Funny set asks for facts that make the room laugh: what word do I always mispronounce, what is my most overused joke? Each still has an answer the subject can confirm, so the laugh comes with a point.
Can I add my own questions?
Yes. Write five that only your group could answer and read them between cards; the page does not store them. Keep the same rule: one answer, and the subject can prove it. Leave out anything an account would use as a security question, such as a first pet.

How this list was compiled: Written by the Game Night Generator editors on 2026-09-18; every question is our own wording and no list was copied from anywhere. Each card is read aloud by the player the game is about, in the first person, and has one answer that player can confirm on the spot: an order, a habit, a number, or something on the phone in their hand. The Closest number wins group holds tiebreakers, several of which can be checked on a phone. Nothing asks about dating, money, or a player's body beyond eye color, shoe size and glasses. No card asks for a middle name, an exact date of birth, a birthplace, the name of a pet, a school, a teacher or a childhood friend, a first car or a first job, an address or a password, because those are the answers accounts use as security questions and a round of this game may end up filmed or posted. Levels are ours: easy cards are things anyone who has spent a week with the player knows, medium cards are things close friends know, and hard cards are known only to the people closest to the player or need an exact number. There is no standard rulebook for this game, so the page describes one common way to play, says that rules vary and claims nothing about where the game comes from. No fact on these cards changes from year to year, because the answers belong to the players. Licence: own work
