60 Would You Rather Questions (Funny, Hard and Kid-Friendly)

Would You Rather works because it forces a choice and then a defence. The best questions have no easy answer, so the conversation does the heavy lifting. Here are sixty, grouped by the room you are in.

Funny and light

• Would you rather always say everything on your mind, or never be able to speak again?

More to keep it going

Each of the lists above can be doubled, tripled or remixed. If you run out mid-game, a generator keeps an endless, non-repeating supply coming so nobody has to invent a question on the spot — which is usually where the game stalls.

How to run it well

1. Go round the circle so everyone answers, not just the loudest.
2. Ask "why?" after each choice — the reasoning is the fun part.
3. Keep it optional; some prompts get personal, so let people pass.
4. Mix easy and hard questions to control the energy.
5. Use a spinner or picker to choose who answers if the group is large.
