How Well Do You Know Me? — 60 Questions That Actually Stump People

Sixty "How Well Do You Know Me" questions sorted by difficulty tier — the warm-up round, the middle round, and the reveals that separate close friends from casual ones. Pick 25-30 based on how well your group actually knows the subject.

How does the game work?

Standard rules: the subject writes their answers privately, players guess what the subject would say, highest match wins.

Two format variants that both work:

• Live reveal. Subject reads their answers out loud round by round; players self-score.
• Written. Everyone writes; host tallies at the end.

The live-reveal version is louder and funnier. Use it whenever the group is 8 or fewer.
