How to find the least popular answer

  1. Skip the first answer that comes to mind — thousands of others thought of it too.
  2. Go one level deeper: a smaller country, a regional dish, a lesser-known player.
  3. Use your own corner of knowledge — a hobby, a job, a place you have lived.
  4. Keep an eye on the clock. A popular correct answer still beats running out of time.

Questions people ask

What is the game where the least popular answer wins?

It is called a rare-answer or “pointless” game. Rarest Answer plays it online for free: each question has dozens of correct answers and the fewer players who gave yours, the more points you score. Krillion (krillion.io) and the TV quiz Pointless use the same idea.

Does a wrong answer count as unpopular?

No. The answer must be correct — it has to be on the list of accepted answers. Typos are forgiven where the match is clear, but made-up or off-topic answers score nothing.

How are points worked out?

From the share of players who gave the same answer: 100% → 5 points, 10% → 33, 1% → 67 and 0.1% or rarer → 100. Seven questions make a round, so the best possible score is 700.

Can I play it as a quiz with a group?

Yes. Create a room on the play-with-friends page; everyone answers the same questions on their own phone and a live board ranks the group.

Is it free?

Yes — free, no account, works on phones and computers.
