40 Thanksgiving Who's Most Likely To Questions for Families

Every Thanksgiving table already knows the answers. Who’s going to set off the smoke alarm. Who’s going to “help” in the kitchen by eating the stuffing out of the pan. Who’s going to fall asleep before the second half. Nobody says it out loud, of course.

This game says it out loud.

“Who’s most likely to…” is the perfect Thanksgiving game because it needs nothing — no board, no batteries, no clearing the table. Just a question, a count of three, and a whole room of fingers swinging toward the same person. It works for a seven-year-old and a seventy-year-old at the same time, which is more than most of the Thanksgiving conversation can say.

Every question below is family-safe and Grandma-approved: playful, specific, and about the day itself. Nobody gets put on the spot about anything that matters. Everybody gets lovingly called out for the pie.

How to play (and keep score with Brownie Points)

One person reads a question out loud.
On the count of three, everyone points at the person who best fits it. You have to point at someone — and you can’t point at yourself.
The person with the most fingers pointed at them earns 1 Brownie Point. Tie? Everyone tied earns a point.
Everyone starts with 1 Brownie Point. First to 6 wins.

Yes, getting roasted earns you a point. That’s the whole charm — the more your family knows you, the better you do. Use anything you’ve got for points: candy corn, crackers, the little marshmallows nobody wants on the sweet potatoes.

That’s exactly how the Roast category works in THE FAMILY ROAST™, our family card game — more on that below.

Real Roast cards from the game

These four are real Roast cards from THE FAMILY ROAST™ — not part of the list above, straight from the deck. They play exactly the same way: count of three, everybody points, most votes earns a Brownie Point.

Real Roast card: “Who would lose a debate but argue like they won?”
Real Roast card: “Who’s most likely to get caught sneaking food at midnight?”
Real Roast card: “Who has the worst poker face?”
Real Roast card: “Who is the most kind hearted person?”

In the full game, Roast is one of five categories. The others mix it up — Remember (old stories and “wait, you remember that?” moments), My Way or the Highway (guess what someone would pick), House Rules (a ridiculous new rule everyone has to follow), and Family Fun (quick challenges that get people out of their seats). It plays 3–12, ages 7+, which is roughly the size and age range of a Thanksgiving table.
