The rules in five lines
Someone reads a question out loud, such as "who is most likely to miss their flight?".
On the count of three, everyone points at the person the question fits best. Point at the same time, so nobody follows the crowd.
The most-pointed person owns it. They take a sip, do a dare or score a point, whatever the table agreed on before starting.
On a tie, both own it. No explanation is required, but one usually comes on its own, and that is where the game gets funny.
Move on to the next question. The game ends when the list runs out or when the table has had enough, usually after twenty to thirty questions.
Three variants for your table
With or without dares. The original version has the pointed person drink. The points version works just as well, the score lives on a napkin and whoever has the most points at the end has won, or lost, depending on the mood. Tables that want dares draw them from a short list written in advance, with nothing humiliating on it.
In teams. Two teams, one question, each team secretly names the person on the other team it fits. If both teams agree, that person owns it. This version holds up past ten players, where individual pointing becomes unreadable.
Soft version, for families. Keep the first two lists below and skip the spicy ones. Swap the sip for a point and let the kids read the questions, they love voting against their parents.

This list is enough to play tonight. If you would rather skip the reading out loud and the finger counting, The Most Likely To on PlaySobr does the job. The host creates a room, the others scan a QR code, the question shows up on every phone, everyone votes in secret and the verdict lands with the vote count.
More than 250 questions with no repeats from one round to the next, a "custom dilemmas" option where a player writes the question themselves every fourth round, and a single-phone mode for guests without theirs. Free, no account, nothing to install, 2 to 12 players.
