Would you rather gives everyone two options and makes them choose. The 50 questions above start with the silly ones (spaghetti hair, horse-sized ducks), then move to everyday choices, bigger what-ifs and a group written for children.
How to play
Any number can play, from two people in a car to a full classroom.
- One person reads a question aloud.
- Everyone picks an answer at the same time: point left or right, raise a hand, or call it out.
- Two or three people say why. Arguing for the losing side is encouraged.
- The next person reads.
“Neither” is not an answer. That’s the whole game. If someone is truly stuck, let them pass.
Ways to play
- Silly round first: start with the first group, even with adults. Laughing early makes the later questions easier.
- Make your own: after a few rounds, each player invents one for the person on their left.
- Majority wins: in a big group, everyone on the losing side has to invent the next question.
- In the car: the road trip questions have more for long drives.
With children, the “For kids” group and the silly group both work. Let kids write their own questions; they’re usually better at it than adults.
For faster two-option choices without the imagining, try this or that questions. For guessing games, play 20 questions.
