Funny would you rather questions

Humor works in this game because both options are absurd, but one is slightly less absurd, and people will argue about which. Sneezing glitter or coughing confetti? A hundred duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck? There is no right answer, which is exactly why these questions keep a room laughing.

Use the silly and food sections for family game night and kids. The weird and "superpowers with a catch" sections are gold for teens and adults. Save the gross questions for groups that enjoy an "ewww" moment, like sleepovers, camp and road trips.

Looking for every category in one place? See the full list of would you rather questions.

Tap an option to make your pick. Then ask the group what they'd choose.
