How to Play "How Well Do You Know Me" (Know Me Best)

It's Built for Exactly Two Players

Know Me Best is strictly head-to-head — a room needs exactly two players to start, no more and no fewer, since every round depends on each of you guessing about the other specifically. One player creates the room and picks how many questions to play; the other joins with the room code.

That's a deliberate difference from a typical party quiz where one person answers and a group predicts — here, both of you are always doing the same thing at the same time: guessing about each other.

How a Round Works

Both players see the identical question — something personal, like a habit, a preference, or a memory — but instead of answering about yourself, you're guessing what the OTHER player would actually say. You each submit your guess independently and don't see each other's answer until you've both locked one in.

Once both guesses are in, they reveal together: you see the guess your partner made about you, and they see the guess you made about them. There's no timer at any point in this process — the whole point of the reveal is to talk about it, laugh about a wildly wrong guess, or be surprised by an accurate one, for as long as you want.

How Scoring Works — and Why There's No Automated Grading

After the reveal, each of you privately marks the guess made ABOUT you as either accurate or not — you're the only one who can actually judge whether your partner read you correctly, so there's no fuzzy text-matching or number-guessing algorithm trying to decide it for you. The moment you've both submitted that verdict, the next question loads automatically — no button to click, no host to wait on.

At the end of all the questions, you'll see a simple tally: how many times each of you correctly guessed the other. Whoever has the higher count knows the other person best — and if it's a tie, that's its own kind of answer.

Quick tips

  • Don't rush a guess just because the interface lets you — since there's no timer, a genuinely considered guess is always worth more than a fast one here.
  • Use the reveal moment for what it's built for — talk about WHY you guessed what you did before voting true or false, not just the verdict itself.
  • If you disagree about whether a guess counts as "accurate," that's a fair discussion to have out loud — the vote is self-reported on purpose, so there's no wrong answer to argue with.
  • Play it more than once — different question categories (including an optional Date Night set) surface different kinds of knowledge about each other.

Frequently asked

Can more than 2 people play Know Me Best together?

No — the game is built specifically for 2 players, and the room simply won't let a 3rd player join once the pair is set.

Is there a time limit on each question?

No — there's no timer anywhere in the game. You guess, discuss the reveal, and vote at your own pace.

Who decides if a guess was "right"?

The person being guessed about does — you mark the guess made about you as accurate or not yourself, since you're the only one who really knows the true answer.

What happens at the end of the game?

You'll see a tally of how many times each player correctly guessed the other across all the questions — whoever has the higher count is declared to know their partner best.
