Are You Best Friends: Or Just Really Good at Faking It?

Short answer: An are you best friends quiz is a short game where you answer 10 personal questions about yourself, then send friends a link so they can guess your answers. Each correct guess scores a point, and the final score out of 10 shows how well they actually know you.

Everyone has that one friend who calls themselves your best friend but couldn't tell you your middle name. This quiz exists to settle that, quietly and with numbers.

It takes about two minutes, costs nothing, and requires no account. You answer some questions about yourself, send a link, and let the scoreboard do the talking.

What It Is

An are you best friends quiz is not a personality test and it doesn't tell you what kind of friend you are based on which snack you picked. It's simpler and, honestly, more useful: you answer 10 real questions about your own life, and then friends guess how you answered. No projection, no vague archetypes. Just facts about you, checked against what other people believe about you.

The format works because it flips the usual quiz logic. Most online quizzes are about the person taking them. This one is about the person who made it, and everyone else is being tested on their knowledge of that person. That small twist is what makes it shareable instead of just personal.

Best Friend Game runs this exact format for free at bestfriendgame.com. You're not filling out a survey for some algorithm to judge you. You're building a tiny trivia game about yourself, and your friends are the contestants.

How It Works

Step one: answer 10 short questions about yourself. Nothing invasive, nothing that requires a diary entry, just real specific things like your go-to comfort food or what you'd do with a free afternoon. It takes about two minutes because the questions are built to be answered fast, not agonized over.

Step two: you get a unique link. That's the whole delivery system. No app download, no account creation, no email capture. You send the link the way you'd send anything else, group chat, story, DM, and that's the invitation to play.

Step three: friends open the link and guess your answers one by one. Each correct guess earns a point, out of 10 total, and the moment they submit, their score lands on a shared leaderboard. That leaderboard is really the whole point. A single score is just a number. A leaderboard is a conversation starter, a small public record of who gets you and who's been faking it.

There's no grading curve, no personality bucket at the end. Just a score, a ranking, and probably a group chat argument about whether question six was fair.

Sample Questions

The questions are the engine of the whole thing, so it matters what they actually ask. Good ones aren't trick questions, they're specific enough that a stranger would fail and a real best friend would pass without thinking twice. Here's the kind of territory the quiz covers, organized into six categories so you know what you're walking into.

Childhood & Firsts

The formative stuff that shaped who you became.

What was your first pet's name?
What did you want to be when you grew up?
What's your earliest childhood memory?
Who was your childhood best friend?
What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
What was your first job?
Where did you grow up?
What's a rule your parents had that you hated?

Daily Habits & Quirks

The small routines nobody notices unless they're paying attention.

What's your go-to order at a coffee shop?
Do you make your bed every morning?
What's your phone's lock screen right now?
What time do you actually fall asleep?
What's the last app you open before bed?
Do you check the weather every day?
What's your most-used emoji?
How do you take your eggs?

Food & Taste

Because knowing someone's order says more than you'd think.

What's your comfort food?
What food do you refuse to eat?
What's your go-to takeout order?
Sweet or salty snacks?
What's the last meal you cooked yourself?
What's your favorite cuisine?
Pineapple on pizza, yes or no?
What's your dream last meal?

Fears & Feelings

The quieter stuff that only close friends actually know.

What's your biggest fear?
What instantly puts you in a bad mood?
What's something that always makes you cry?
What's a phobia you have?
What stresses you out the most?
What's your love language?
What calms you down when you're anxious?
What's your biggest pet peeve?

Dreams & Future

Where your head goes when you're planning ahead.

Where do you want to live someday?
What's on your bucket list?
What's a skill you wish you had?
What's your dream job?
Where would you go on your dream vacation?
What's a goal you're working on right now?
What would you do with an unexpected windfall?
What's a habit you're trying to build?

Random & Weird

The oddball questions that reveal more than the serious ones.

What's your most-used word or phrase?
What conspiracy theory do you low-key believe?
What's your villain origin story?
What's the weirdest thing you've googled?
What superpower would you actually want?
What song is stuck in your head most often?
What's your most controversial opinion?
If you were an animal, what would you be?

What Your Score Means

ScoreWhat it actually means
9–10They basically live in your head rent-free. Suspiciously accurate.
7–8Genuinely close. They know the real you, not just the highlight reel.
5–6Solid acquaintance-with-benefits territory. Knows the vibe, not the details.
3–4You've hung out, but mostly in group settings with other people talking.
0–2Reintroduce yourselves. This is a stranger with your number saved.

Here's the thing people get wrong about this quiz: a low score isn't an insult and a high score isn't a trophy. Some of the closest friendships I've seen score a 6 because both people are private in different ways, and that's fine, that's just how they're built. Meanwhile a 9 can come from someone who's simply observant, not necessarily emotionally intimate. Treat the number as a conversation starter, not a verdict. The real value isn't the score itself, it's the two minutes right after when someone says wait, why did you think my answer was that, and you actually talk about it.

Which Version to Use

If you've seen the phrase best friend test or bff test floating around, they're built on the exact same mechanic as this quiz, just aimed at slightly different moods and audiences.

  • are you best friends quiz (this quiz) — Leans into the direct question people actually type when they want proof, not vibes. Good for settling debates.
  • BFF test — Same 10-question, guess-the-answer mechanic, but framed younger and more social, built for group chats and school friend groups.
  • Best friend test — The balanced, default version of the format, works for any age or friend group without leaning into a specific tone.

Different names, same engine, so pick whichever framing matches the friendship you're testing.

Beyond Best Friends

Nothing about this format is locked to friendship. The mechanic, answer questions about yourself, send a link, let someone guess, works anywhere two people have history worth checking.

Send it to a crush and suddenly it's a low-stakes way to find out if they've actually been paying attention, without either of you having to say anything vulnerable out loud. Send it to a sibling or a parent and you get a strangely moving read on which parts of your life actually made it into their memory.

Couples use it too, and it tends to be humbling in a good way. You'd think years together guarantees a perfect score, but partners often miss the small stuff, the current comfort food, the new fear, the thing that changed last month. Turns out knowing someone is a moving target, not a one-time achievement.

The point is the format is neutral. It's just a knowledge check between two people, and you get to decide who's worth testing it on.

Language Support

The quiz runs in 15 languages, including Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, Bengali, and Telugu, with full right-to-left support for languages like Arabic that need it. That's not a small feature, it means the friend you send this to doesn't have to translate their own answers in their head before typing them.

For a format that lives or dies by how naturally people can answer, language support isn't decoration, it's the difference between a quiz that feels native and one that feels like homework.
