For the indecisive among us (we see you, Libras), Would You Rather questions might be your personal version of hell. But for the rest of us, it’s a classic slumber party game, often played alongside Truth or Dare, 21 Questions, and Never Have I Ever. No matter how outlandish the choices, Would You Rather is a fun way to get to know people better, whether it’s your friends, someone you’re crushing on, or even just yourself.
The beauty of Would You Rather? It requires no technology or special equipment. Just gather your friends, pull up this list, and get ready for some instant entertainment and insight into people’s preferences.
We’ve curated the very best Would You Rather questions for adults, couples, friends, and anyone else seeking a fun way to break the ice or spark a deeper conversation. We’ve got questions that will elicit laughs, challenge your perspectives, and reveal fascinating things about those around you.
