1Grab at least one other person to play with. In order to play “Who Knows Me Best?”, you need at least two players to compete against each other. Make sure every player has something to write their answers on, like a piece of paper, a whiteboard, or even their phone’s notes app. [16] X Research source
-
2Have someone ask a question about themselves. To keep up with the score more easily, choose one person to ask questions about themselves, rather than taking turns. When that player asks their question, all other players will write down their answer. Feel free to set a time limit, like 30 seconds. [17] X Research source
- If multiple people want a turn to ask questions, do different rounds. For example, have the first person ask five questions, then tally the score to see who knows them best. Then, choose the next player to ask questions and have them ask five.
- If you’re only playing with one other person, it’s okay to take turns instead of playing in rounds. Just make sure you both ask an equal number of questions.
-
3Give a point to those who answer correctly. Have everyone reveal their answers, and give them an opportunity to defend their answer or explain their thought process. The person who asked the question decides whose answer is close enough to receive a point. Keep track of who has the most points at the end of the game to determine a winner. [18] X Research source
