How the most people picked game works
Every day there is one new question and four answers. Your job is simple: don't pick what you would answer, pick what you think most people answered.
- Read the question. It comes from our quiz question bank, the same kind of questions people use when they make a friend quiz.
- Choose one of the four answers. Go with your gut or think about what the crowd would say.
- See the results. Four percentage bars show how many quiz makers really picked each answer.
- Keep your streak. Guess the top answer on consecutive days and your streak grows.
The percentages are not made up. They come from answers that real people chose when they built their own quizzes on this site. A question only shows up once enough people have answered it (at least 30), so the bars mean something.
Why it's harder than it looks
Guessing what you would pick is easy. Guessing what everyone else would pick is a different skill. You have to think about people who are not like you: older, younger, more chaotic, more careful. A lot of players are surprised when the answer they thought was "obviously the most popular" comes second or even last.
Some things we've noticed in this kind of game:
- The funny answer often loses. People like to pick the joke option in their head, but when they really answer, many choose the safe one.
- Close results are common. Sometimes two answers are only a few points apart, so one lucky guess can break your streak.
- Your friends are not the crowd. If your group always picks the same thing, the real numbers may still surprise you.
Play it with friends
This is a great game for group chats because everyone answers the same question on the same day. Here are three easy ways to play:
- Predict first, reveal together. Everyone sends their guess in the chat, then one person taps to reveal the percentages.
- Screenshot the result. Share your result and let friends say whether they would have guessed it.
- Streak battle. Compare streaks at the end of the week. Whoever has the longest one picks the next hangout or the next meme.
