The celebrity death pool for friend groupsPick them before they drop
Draft famous people with your friends. Score when they die. Try not to cheer out loud.
How the death pool works
01
Draft your deathlist
Search any living public figure and add them to your list. Each pick shows what it would score if they died today.
02
Invite your group
Send one link to the group chat. Leagues are private: only the people you invite can join or see your picks.
03
Score when they die
Deaths are confirmed automatically. The whole league sees the news, you get the points and the slot reopens.
Younger is worth more.
Every confirmed death scores 120² − age² points, using their exact age down to the day. Someone who goes at 35 is worth 13,175; at 95, 5,375.
Your Grim Pick, the captain of your deathlist, scores double.
Points for this death+13,175
Better than a spreadsheet.
The Grim Gazette
Every confirmed death gets a short roast obituary for your league. It never leaves the league.
Kill cards
Every death you score comes with a card for the group chat.
Questions people ask
What is a celebrity death pool?
A game, also called a dead pool, where everyone drafts a list of famous people and scores when one of them dies. Offices and pubs have run them on paper for decades. Rest In Picks keeps the lists, confirms the deaths and does the maths.
Who confirms a death?
Rest In Picks checks Wikidata for a recorded date of death and, once it’s there, confirms the death automatically. Nobody scores on a rumour.
Can strangers see my deathlist?
No. Leagues are private and invite-only. Only the people in your league see your picks.
Is it really free?
Yes. No ads, no premium tier, as many leagues as you like.
Isn’t this in poor taste?
A little, on purpose. Death pools have been an office and pub tradition for decades. This one stays private, among friends who are in on the joke.
Start a league, send the link.
Your friends join from the group chat and everyone drafts a deathlist. It’s free.
