Read the full guide

One subject, two contestants, first to ten

The player everyone is guessing about reads each card aloud and, before anyone answers, writes the answer down. That ends most arguments. Two contestants take Team 1 and Team 2; on the end card, press +1 for each right answer. Agree on a winning score first. Ten works.

What each of four quiz sets asks

For friends covers what a friend sees from outside: what is on my phone's lock screen? For a best friend goes further: what is my comfort movie? For family reaches back: what word did I say wrong for years as a small child? For siblings plays as a sibling questions game: what did I blame on you that was really me?

  • Tied? Pick Closest number wins: how many photos are on my phone? Nearest guess scores, and the phone settles it.
  • The closest games pit people who know you from different places: a sibling against a best friend.
  • The cards that split two close contestants sit on Hard.

Questions and answers

What are good who knows me better questions?

Good who knows me better questions are personal trivia with 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: nobody can score it.

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?

Not on the page. Write five that only your group could answer and read them between cards. Keep the rule: one provable answer. Leave out what accounts use as security questions, such as a first pet or a first car; no card asks for those.
