Would You Rather Questions
A good would you rather question has no easy answer. Everyone picks a side at the same time, then a few people explain why, and that is where the fun starts. Here are some of our favourites, sorted from kids to party.
In Truth n Dare these come up as group rounds between truths and dares, so nobody sits out for long.

Questions people ask
How do you play would you rather?
One person reads a question with two choices. Everyone answers at the same moment by pointing left or right, then a few players explain their choice.
What makes a good would you rather question?
Two options that are equally good, or equally bad, so the group is split. Funny beats gross, and kind beats mean.
