220 Would You Rather Questions for Kids, Adults, Couples and Work (Funny, Deep, All Original)

By The Rondovo team · Published September 12, 2026 · Updated October 11, 2026 · 20 min read

Would you rather is a question game: someone offers two choices ("would you rather always be ten minutes early or always be five minutes late?"), everyone picks one, and then you argue about it. Below are 220 original would you rather questions, sorted by who is playing: funny ones for any group, questions for kids, teens, adults, couples and work, and a set of hard ones that start real conversations.

Every question was written for this page. None of them involve injury, illness, money worries or exes, so you can read any list out loud at a family table or a team call without checking it first.

In short

• How it works: read two options, everyone picks one on a count of three, then the minority explains themselves.
• Players: 2 to 20. With more than 8, vote by hands and let two people from each side argue.
• Time: about 1 minute per question, so 15 questions fills a quarter of an hour.
• The trick to good ones: both options must be tempting, or both mildly annoying. If everyone picks the same side, it was a statement, not a question.
• Jump to: funny, kids, teens, adults, couples, work, hard and deep.

How to play would you rather

1. Pick a reader. The reader asks one question, then passes the job to the left.
2. Read both options slowly. Read it twice if anyone looks confused. The second option should land with a little pause.
3. Count down and choose. On three, everyone holds up one finger for the first option or two for the second. Choosing together stops people copying the loudest voice.
4. The smaller side explains. Give them 30 seconds. Anyone can switch sides after hearing them out, and a good switch gets a cheer.
5. No "neither". The only rule that matters. If someone tries to dodge, the group picks for them.

With two people it becomes a conversation game: you each answer, then guess what the other one chose before they say it.

Ways to score it

Would you rather has no winner by default, which is fine for a dinner table. If your group likes points:

• Read the room. Before the vote, each player secretly writes which option they think will win. A correct guess scores one.
• The persuader. Whoever makes the most people switch sides in a round scores two.
• Lonely vote. If you are the only person on your side and you still talk one person over, you score three.
• Percentages. Before the vote, the reader guesses what share of the room picks the first option ("70 per cent"). Closest guess across the night wins.

Hard would you rather questions

These are the ones that make a table go quiet for a second. Both sides cost you something, and the real game is hearing why people chose what they chose. Good for close friends, couples and late evenings. Give people time; a pass is always allowed.

How to write your own would you rather questions

The lists above run out eventually, and the best questions at a party are the ones written about the people in the room. A few things we learned writing these:

• Make both sides tempting. "Fly or be invisible" works because both are good. "Fly or stub your toe" is not a question.
• Or make both sides mildly annoying. "One wet sock or a pebble in your shoe" works because everyone has felt both.
• Add a cost to the nice option. "A free holiday, but you can't pick where" is better than "a free holiday".
• Keep it specific. "Talk to ducks, but only about bread" beats "talk to animals".
• Leave out pain, illness and bodies. A question about losing a limb is not edgy, it just ends the fun for anyone it hits close to.
• Write about the room. "Would you rather be stuck on a desert island with Sam's cooking or Priya's singing?" works if Sam and Priya laugh first.

Hosting tips that make it work

• Start with funny, end with deep. Open with three or four silly ones so everyone answers fast. Save the hard list for when people are settled.
• Ask the quiet people first. Before the vote, say "Leo, you go first this time". It gives shy players a turn without putting them on the spot about anything personal.
• Cap the arguments. Thirty seconds per side, then move on. The game dies when two people debate one question for ten minutes.
• Let anyone skip. A question that lands badly for one person is a bad question tonight. No explanation needed.
• Mix it with something else. Would you rather works best for 15 to 20 minutes. Then switch to a game with a winner, like the ones in our party games guide.

Playing would you rather online or on a video call

On a call, the countdown gets messy because of audio lag. Two fixes: everyone types 1 or 2 in the chat and presses enter on the count of three, or everyone holds up fingers to the camera. The second is more fun to watch.

Rondovo does not have a would you rather game, so for this one the list and a chat window are the honest answer. The closest thing we have is Most Likely To, which works the same way with one difference: instead of choosing between two options, everyone votes for a person. The prompt comes up on everyone's screen (and on a TV, if you use one), each player votes on their own screen in secret, and the result is revealed at once. It plays with 3 to 16 people, takes about ten minutes and has its own deck of family-friendly prompts. It is free: the host makes a room, guests join at rondovo.com with the four letter code, with no download and no account, and on a video call nobody needs to share a screen. Our most likely to questions list has 160 more prompts if you want to play it out loud.

For a group that likes writing jokes, Fill-In gives everyone the same sentence with a blank and the room votes on the funniest anonymous answer. If your group likes the "learn things about each other" side of would you rather, Two Truths and our never have I ever questions are the natural next step.

Questions people ask

What is the would you rather game?

A conversation game where one person offers two choices and everyone has to pick one, then explain. There is no board or equipment, it works for 2 to 20 people, and the fun is in the reasons people give, not the answers.

What are good would you rather questions?

Ones where both options are equally tempting or equally annoying, and specific enough to picture. "Have a theme tune that plays when you enter a room, or a laugh track after everything you say?" works because you can imagine both and neither is obviously better.

What are good would you rather questions for kids?

Choices between two fun things: flying or invisibility, a pet dinosaur or a pet dragon, a treehouse or a castle. Keep them short and ask for one reason with each answer. The 40 questions in the kids section above suit ages 5 and up.

How do you play would you rather with a big group?

Read the question, have everyone vote by raising one or two fingers on a count of three, then let one person from each side argue for 30 seconds. Anyone who changes their mind switches sides. With more than 20 people, split into tables with a reader each.

Can you play would you rather with two people?

Yes, and it makes a good date night or road trip game. Take turns reading, but before your partner answers, predict their choice. Score a point for every correct prediction.

Is there a would you rather game online with friends?

You can play it on any video call by typing answers in the chat on a countdown. Some websites show questions with live percentage results. For a game where friends vote on their own screens and see the reveal together, try a voting game like Most Likely To.
