Who's closest is a guessing game, often played at parties[citation needed] or on long journeys[citation needed] because it requires no board or other materials.
Play starts with one player thinking a random thought. The rest of the players then take turns trying to guess what the speaker is thinking of. Once everyone has guessed the thinker reveals the actual thought and everyone takes it in turns to justify why they were closest. The thinker decides who was closest and that person becomes the next thinker.
The ruling of the thinker is often heavily influenced by how humorous the justifications were. Unless a particular guess was very good, the decision is based mainly on how funny the justification was.
Example:
John Smith: Let's play a game
Barnaby Dawson: How about "Who's closest"?
John Smith: No Barnaby. You are a terrible person and nobody else likes playing that game with your terrible rules.
