Would You Rather Questions for Friends
Good would you rather questions are quick to answer and surprisingly hard to defend. Below are 61 of them, sorted by mood: funny ones to warm up, juicy ones once everyone's comfortable, a set about your friendship for best friends, show-of-hands picks for parties, and a few deeper ones for late in the night. Pick a section, go around the circle, and make everyone explain their answer.
How to play
- One person reads the question. Everyone picks. No "both" and no "neither."
- The answer isn't the fun part. The reason is. Ask "why?" every time.
- Anyone can pass on a juicy one. Those land differently in a group that doesn't know each other well yet.
- Big group? Count to three and everyone points left for the first option or right for the second.
