Would you rather questions: 520+ of the best for every group

Browse by category

Each section below shows a selection. Open a category for the complete list.

We sorted every question by audience (kids, teens, adults, couples, coworkers) and by mood (funny, crazy, hard, deep, spicy). That way a teacher can grab a classroom-safe set, a couple can find date-night questions, and a team lead can open a meeting without risking an awkward moment. Everything is clean except the spicy section, which is marked 18+ and stays PG-13.

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

How to play would you rather

Would you rather is a conversation game for two or more people. You don't need cards, a board or an app, just questions. Here are the basic rules:

Playing with a group in the same room? Our free Would You Rather game puts the questions on one phone. Pick your categories, tap a side, and pass it around.

6 ways to make would you rather more fun

• Minority wins: after everyone votes, players on the smaller side score a point. It rewards bold choices.
• Guess the answer: before a player answers, everyone guesses what they'll choose. One point per correct guess. This is great for couples and best friends.
• Speed round: give each person three seconds to answer. No thinking allowed.
• Convince me: two players are assigned opposite sides and have 30 seconds each to persuade the group. The audience votes on the winner.
• Write your own: each player writes one question on a slip of paper. Mix them in a bowl and draw.
• Story mode: the answer becomes the start of a story. "I'd rather live on a pirate ship, and on my first day…" This works well with kids and in writing classes.

What makes a good would you rather question?

The best would you rather questions share a few traits. Use them to judge any question, or to write your own:

• Both options are equally weighted. If everyone picks the same answer, the question is too easy. "Would you rather have $1 million or $1?" is not a dilemma.
• They're easy to picture. "Would you rather have spaghetti for hair or marshmallows for fingers?" works because everyone can instantly imagine it.
• They reveal something. A great question tells you about the person answering, like their values, humor, fears or priorities.
• They fit the room. A spicy question at a work meeting or a dark question in a 3rd-grade classroom will backfire. Match the list to your audience.
• They're short. If you need a paragraph to explain the scenario, it's a thought experiment, not a would you rather.
