How to write your own would you rather questions

A great would you rather question has two options that are equally tempting or equally awful. If everyone picks the same answer, the question is too easy. Try this formula:

• Take one thing people love (pizza, free time, travel).
• Attach a cost to each option that hurts in a different way (no cheese vs. no crust; no phone vs. no money).
• Keep it short enough to read out loud in one breath.

FAQ

What are good would you rather questions? Good questions make both options appealing (or both awful) so people have to think. The "hard" section above is a good place to start.

Are these questions appropriate for kids? The "for kids" and "food" sections are written for children. The rest are suitable for teens and adults, and all of them stay family-friendly.

How many players do you need? Two is enough. With bigger groups, have everyone answer at once by raising a hand for option A or B.

Can I use these for work icebreakers? Yes. The work section avoids personal or sensitive topics, so it's safe for new teams and meetings.
