Frequently asked questions

Are these would you rather questions clean?
Yes. Every question is written to work for a mixed group, a classroom or a car ride with parents: no dating, no gross-outs and nothing that makes fun of how anyone looks. Teens still get real choices, like time or money, and plenty of absurd ones.
What age are these questions for?
They're written for ages 13 to 17, and most work for 12-year-olds and adults too. The deep thinkers group lands best with older teens, and the totally ridiculous group works for anyone who likes a silly argument.
How do you play would you rather at a teen party or sleepover?
The simplest way is Take a Side: read a question and everyone moves to one side of the room. At a sleepover, try Guess My Pick, where the group predicts one person's answer before they reveal it. Neither game needs any setup.
How do you keep would you rather from getting boring?
Make people explain their pick. A 20-second why turns a quick answer into a debate, and switching topics every five questions keeps the round moving. Let whoever answered last choose the next question.
