Conversation guide

These 40 weird questions are absurd what-ifs: which animal would be the rudest, which piece of furniture has the most gossip, what to tell aliens about humans in one sentence. There’s no right answer, which is the point. Commit to one and defend it.

Start with the easiest one

Don’t open with the strangest question on the list. The animal questions are a gentle start because everyone has an opinion about cats. Let people laugh first, then go weirder if the room wants it.

Make people defend their answers

A weird question gets better on the second round. Ask “Why?” or “What would happen next?” and let the group argue. Someone who says the fridge would complain about leftovers usually has a story about their own fridge. Follow it if they want to tell it.

For questions that are odd but realistic, such as moving to a new city tomorrow, see hypothetical questions. For a numbered list that mixes everything, try random questions.

Helpful follow-ups

  • Defend that answer.
  • What would happen next?
  • Who here would disagree?
