Best Friend Quiz Questions: 60 Questions, Scoring & BFF Tiers

It's 11pm at a sleepover, or the third hour of a road trip, and someone says “okay, but how well do you actually know me?” Then the questions run out after “what's my middle name” and “what's my favorite color”, because nobody planned past question three. The BuzzFeed-style quizzes online are built for one person clicking alone, and the friend-quiz apps make you type in your answers first, which kills the moment.

This page is the version you play out loud, in person, with two people or a whole room. Sixty questions in six rounds that get harder as they go, a scoring sheet that adds up to 100, and seven tiers so the result is a title you can screenshot (“we're Old Married Couple, apparently”) instead of just a number. At the end there's a section on what to do when the score is embarrassingly low — because it happens more than you'd think, and it's usually fine.

How to play the best friend quiz (two ways)

Way 1: Guess-my-answer (the classic)

1. One of you is the subject. The other is the guesser.
2. Read a question. The guesser says what they think the subject would answer. Then the subject reveals the truth.
3. Score it with the sheet below. Swap roles every round (or every question, if you're only two).
4. Add up both totals and find your tier. If you're in a group, the highest guesser score wins the title “Knows Them Best”.

Way 2: Write-then-reveal (fairer, funnier)

Both of you write your answer in your phone's Notes app before anyone speaks — the subject writes the truth, the guesser writes the guess. Reveal on three. It stops the subject from “remembering” a different answer once they hear the guess, and it makes wrong guesses much funnier because they're in writing. Every guess-my-answer app on the App Store is basically this method with a nicer interface.

Scoring sheet: 100 points, six rounds

Points are weighted on purpose: anyone who follows you on Instagram can score Round 1, but Round 5 is worth three times as much because it can't be googled. A “half right” answer (right restaurant, wrong dish) gets half the points, and the subject is the only judge — arguing about whether “kind of” counts is part of the game.

Round 1: The basics (10 questions, 1 point each)

Warm-up. If your best friend misses more than two of these, put the phone down and have a talk.

1. What's my full name, including middle name?
2. What's my birthday — and what sign does that make me?
3. How many siblings do I have, and where am I in the order?
4. What city was I born in?
5. What's my go-to coffee (or non-coffee) order?
6. What's my phone wallpaper right now?
7. What's my shoe size?
8. What do I do for work or school, specifically — not just “something with computers”?
9. Do I have any allergies?
10. What's the name of my first pet, or the pet I'd get if I could?

Round 2: Habits and daily life (10 questions, 2 points each)

This is where “we hang out a lot” separates from “you pay attention”. You can't know these from a feed.

1. What time do I actually wake up on a weekday (not what my alarm says)?
2. What's the first app I open in the morning?
3. What's my most-used emoji?
4. Which side of the bed do I sleep on?
5. How do I take my eggs?
6. What's my comfort meal when I'm sad?
7. What's the one chore I always put off?
8. What do I do when I can't sleep?
9. How many alarms do I set?
10. What's my screen-time average, to the nearest hour?

Round 3: Tastes and opinions (10 questions, 1 point each)

1. What's my all-time favorite movie — the honest one, not the impressive one?
2. What song would I pick for karaoke every single time?
3. What's my most controversial food opinion?
4. Pineapple on pizza: which side am I on?
5. What's the TV show I've rewatched the most?
6. Which celebrity do I have an irrational dislike for?
7. What's my dream vacation: beach, city, mountains, or nowhere?
8. Cats or dogs — and would I ever admit the other is fine?
9. What's my favorite season, and why is it not the obvious one?
10. What's the one genre of music I pretend I don't listen to?

Round 4: Memories together (10 questions, 2 points each)

Both of you were there, so in theory both of you know. In practice, this is the round where you find out one of you remembers your friendship completely differently.

1. Where and when did we first meet — the actual day, not the year?
2. What was your first impression of me (be honest)?
3. What's the first thing we ever did together outside of where we met?
4. What's the dumbest argument we've ever had?
5. What's our inside joke that nobody else gets?
6. What's the hardest thing I've helped you through, or you've helped me through?
7. What was the last thing we laughed about until it hurt?
8. What's the best gift I've ever given you?
9. Where would we have ended up if we'd followed through on our worst idea?
10. What's the one story about us I'd never let you tell at a wedding?

Round 5: Only a best friend knows (10 questions, 3 points each)

Thirty points on the table. These aren't in any bio. If you get seven or more, you are the best friend, whatever the other rounds said.

1. What's my biggest fear — the real one, not spiders?
2. What am I most insecure about?
3. What's the compliment I secretly want to hear?
4. Who's the person I'm still not over (crush, ex, or friend)?
5. What do I do when I'm angry but pretending I'm not?
6. What's the thing I'm proudest of that I never talk about?
7. What would I quit my job to do tomorrow if money didn't matter?
8. What's my biggest regret?
9. What's the one thing I'd change about my family?
10. What's the thing I'd never post about?

Round 6: Predictions (10 questions, 1 point each)

There's no right answer yet, so score it differently: both of you write your prediction, and you get the point if your predictions match. It's the round that says the most about whether you see each other the same way.

1. Which of us gets married first?
2. Which of us would survive longest in a zombie movie?
3. Where will I be living in ten years?
4. What will I be famous for, if anything?
5. Which of us is more likely to end up on reality TV?
6. Who would win a fight between the two of us — and how?
7. What's the first thing I'd buy with a lottery win?
8. Which of us would crack first under interrogation?
9. What will I look like at 70?
10. In one word, what's the thing our friendship is built on?

Your result: the seven BFF tiers

Add up your points (out of 100 per person, or average the two of you). The tier names are borrowed from the relationship ranks in MindMatch, because “Past-Life Rivals” is a much better result to send someone than “32%”.

One honest note: this quiz measures attention, not affection. A friend who scores 45 might be the one who drove three hours when you were in the hospital. Knowing someone's coffee order and showing up for them are different skills, and the second one matters more. Use a low score as a reason to ask better questions, not as evidence of anything.

What to do when the score is low

It happens at every sleepover: someone's best friend of eight years scores a 38, the room goes quiet, and the phone gets put away. Three things to say before that happens.

• The retest is the real score. Play the same quiz a month later. If it goes up 20 points, that's a friendship that pays attention when it's asked to, which is the only kind that matters.
• Round 5 is the whole game. If you got the fears and the insecurities right and missed the shoe size, ignore the total. You know the person; you don't know the trivia.
• Swap to a game that scores instinct instead of memory. The drawing sync in the next section can't be studied for — the two of you either draw a house the same way or you don't. A low quiz score followed by a high sync score is a very common, very funny outcome.

Apps that run the quiz for you (checked on the US App Store)

Four apps, all verified on the US App Store in August 2026 with links. The first one is ours.

MindMatch — for the part a quiz can't measure

A quiz tests what you remember about someone. Drawing Sync tests what you share without either of you knowing it. You each draw the same thing — a star, a birthday cake, a cat — in turns on one phone, without the other watching, then the app overlays the two and compares them on five things: shape, placement, orientation, stroke and rhythm. It doesn't score drawing skill; two people who can't draw can score higher than two who can. The Full Sync Course strings ten rounds of drawings and picture choices into one relationship rank, which is exactly the tier table above, only you can't argue with it.

Variations: for groups, for long distance, for kids

Group version (4–10 people)

One subject, everyone else guesses on paper at the same time, subject reveals. Rotate the subject every round. Keep a running total per guesser, and the top guesser at the end gets the “Knows Everyone Best” title — which is usually the quiet one in the group, not the loud one. For a version with no explaining and no paper, our party games you can start in a minute list has the fillers.

Long-distance version

Text the questions one at a time; both of you reply with your answer in the same minute so neither can see the other's first. A sixty-question quiz over text takes a week and is far better than a week of “how was your day”. More games that work over a call or a chat thread are in games to play on a call.

Kids and siblings

Drop Round 5 and Round 6, double the points in Round 4, and let the subject grade with a thumbs up or down. Sibling versions get competitive fast, which is fine — see family game night on one phone for games that don't need a referee.
