Some Thanksgiving games work best when everyone can join in without stopping the flow of the gathering. Most Likely To is one of them.
Keep the game open on one phone, read a prompt aloud, and have everyone vote for the person in the group who fits it best. You can point at the same time, call out a name, or use secret votes if your group prefers.
There are no correct answers and no score required. The group decides every response.
12 Thanksgiving Most Likely To Questions
Start with the first prompt and let everyone vote before moving on.
- Most likely to eat the most pie
- Most likely to fall asleep after dinner
- Most likely to arrive early
- Most likely to arrive late
- Most likely to bring extra food
- Most likely to watch every football game
- Most likely to take the most family photos
- Most likely to go back for thirds
- Most likely to forget something at home
- Most likely to start the cleanup first
- Most likely to make everyone laugh
- Most likely to host Thanksgiving next year
Balance Food, Timing, and Family Roles
The 12 prompts work best when the host varies the type of observation instead of reading similar ideas back to back.
- Start with food: use questions 1, 5, and 8 about pie, bringing extra food, and going back for thirds.
- Move to holiday habits: questions 2, 6, 7, and 9 cover resting, football, photos, and forgetting something.
- Finish with timing and helping: use questions 3, 4, 10, 11, and 12 about arrivals, cleanup, humor, and future hosting.
Questions 3 and 4 are a deliberate pair. Ask both before commenting so an early arrival and a late arrival can each be recognized without treating one habit as morally better. Likewise, eating the most pie or returning for thirds should stay affectionate; never use the vote to criticize someone’s body or plate.
Cleanup and next-year hosting are real responsibilities outside the game. Treat questions 10 and 12 as imaginary compliments, not assignments. If those subjects could create tension, end with question 11 about making everyone laugh.
For Friendsgiving, the same sequence works without changes. Let “family photos” mean group photos and keep the emphasis on the people at the table.
The Fastest Way to Play
What You Need
- One phone with this game open
- Your family, friends, or Thanksgiving guests
This Thanksgiving vote needs no official answers, only a clear reader and willing participants.
Quick Play
- Open the game on one phone.
- One person reads the first prompt aloud.
- Everyone votes for the person who best fits it.
- Compare the votes and enjoy the reactions.
- Continue through all 12 prompts.
No answer key is needed because the players decide who fits each prompt.
Point at the Same Time
For a lively dinner-table round, have everyone reveal their vote together.
The host reads a prompt, counts down from three, and then everyone points at the person they chose.
This keeps people from simply following the first vote they hear and makes the reveal more fun.
Secret ballots add the most suspense to Thanksgiving prompts such as:
- Most likely to eat the most pie
- Most likely to arrive late
- Most likely to make everyone laugh
- Most likely to host Thanksgiving next year
If several people point at the same person, enjoy the reaction and move on. If the votes are split, that can be just as entertaining.
Try Secret Voting for a Different Kind of Reveal
If your group tends to influence each other, use a secret-vote version.
After the prompt is read, everyone quietly chooses a name. Players can say their vote one at a time, type it into their own phone notes, or tell the host privately.
Then reveal all the votes together.
This variation can work well with larger groups or with prompts where people may change their answer after hearing someone else speak first.
Keep it casual. The goal is conversation and laughter, not a formal ballot.
Play on One Phone
Keep this page open on one shared phone and choose a host.
The host reads each prompt aloud while everyone else listens and votes. You can also pass the phone around after each question so everyone gets a turn leading the game.
One-phone play makes it easy to start before dinner, around the table, or during a casual Friendsgiving without setting up extra materials.
Print If You Prefer
If reading from paper is more convenient for your gathering, you can print the prompts for personal use.
Printing is optional. The complete game can be played directly from one shared phone.

Most Likely To is about voting for people in the group, while those games add preference choices or fixed-answer questions for a different pace.
Keep the Voting Light
Read the prompt, make your choice, reveal the votes, and move on when the group is ready.
That is all you need for an easy Thanksgiving Most Likely To game.
