50 Best Would You Rather Questions

Whether you’re looking for a dynamic conversation or funny icebreaker, try out one of these 50 best Would You Rather questions.  

1. Would you rather be able to have super strength or fly? 

This question hits on a classic superpower standoff that is surprisingly divisive. 

2. Would you rather only be able to eat sweet or savory food? 

You know, granting that they both affected your health in the same way. 

3. Would you rather never be able to read another book or never watch another movie? 

Both are essential forms of art and communication. Which one would you pick? 

4. Would you rather meet your great-great-grandparents or your great-great-grandchildren? 

The past you came from or the future you influenced—either one would be enjoyable. 

5. Would you rather be a fantastic storyteller, inspired by your embarrassing moments, or never do anything embarrassing but not have funny stories? 

Do you care more about life being “for the plot,” or do embarrassing moments stress you out so much you’d do anything never to have another one?

6. Would you rather have to say every thought out loud or never be able to speak again? 

Despite your best efforts, you probably have a few ridiculous thoughts from time to time. How much do you care if people know what they are?

7. If you had to choose, would you rather every shirt you put on be slightly itchy or only be able to use single-ply toilet paper? 

Unfortunately, either option would make life quite tedious.

8. Would you rather every scoop of ice cream you ever eat be too melted or every brownie you ever eat be a corner piece? 

For those who like corner pieces of brownie, this is a pretty easy decision. 

9. Would you rather break the world record for the fastest marathon but have to run everywhere you go instead of walking, or be considered the best chef but have to cook something intricate and time intensive every time you make a meal? 

10. Would you rather live in a tree house or a tiny home by the beach? 

A spin on the classic ocean or forest question, but add the part where you’d have to be OK with living there! 

11. Would you rather never be able to send another text and have all personal communication as a phone call or have a video zoom call every day? 

Talk about phone anxiety! 

12. Would you rather be mildly allergic to dust or very allergic to pollen? 

A mild allergy all year round or a bigger allergy that flares up during the spring? 

13. Would you rather have the power of teleportation or the ability of telekinesis? 

Getting anywhere in the blink of an eye would be amazing, but it would also be pretty awesome not to get up to turn off the lights. 

14. Would you rather have to watch only horror movies or only rom-com for the next year? 

What do you look for when you watch a movie—something lighthearted and sweet or something more intense and adrenaline-raising? 

15. Would you rather be exceptionally good at a niche sport that very few people know about or be OK at every sport you try? 

The internal struggle between wanting to be a Jack of all trades but also be “the best” at something. 

16. Would you rather be a world-class bassoonist or an Olympic-level curler? 

Both are incredibly prestigious and impressive. 

17. Would you rather live in perpetual winter and always be a little too cold or endless summer and always too warm?

18. Would you rather dive from the 10m diving board or go scuba diving in caves? 

Which one scares you more—heights or depths? 

19. Would you rather every movie was a musical or every store had a soundtrack? 

Horror movies would probably be less scary if everyone sang and danced together! 

20. Would you rather date someone who is super into fitness or super artistic?

Plenty of people are artistic and athletic, but it’s interesting to think about what you’d do if you had to choose just one or the other. 

21. Would you rather date someone you would describe as “fun” or “reliable”?

These two traits are not exclusive! How you describe your partner can often say more about you than them. 

22. Would you rather be able to speak to animals or make plants grow? 

The choice between flora and fauna—both incredible options! 

23. Would you rather have to fight one horse-sized duck or 50 duck-sized horses? 

Who knows what challenges you might face in life?

24. Would you rather have one-inch nails or wear a stiletto every work day? 

People who can cook meals with long nails or run errands in stilettos are superhuman. 

25. Would you rather wear a sweat suit or be dressed to the nines every day? 

Some people love feeling comfy and casual while others love feeling fancy—which one are you? 

26. Would you rather have an elephant’s trunk attached to your face or a neck as long as a giraffe? 

The elephant trunk would let you give people more hugs.

27. Would you rather be allergic to gluten or dairy? 

Unfortunately, many people don’t get the choice and just get stuck with one (or both) of these allergies. 

28. Would you rather have to fight Cerberus or Medusa? 

Neither of these options is excellent, with one being a three-headed dog that guards the underworld, while the other one’s a monster who turns people to stone when they look directly at her. 

29. Would you rather sleep with socks on or wear socks and sandals? 

For some reason, socks in these two settings seem relatively polarizing. It’s interesting to learn who strongly feels about when socks should be worn and when they shouldn’t. 

30. Would you rather hold a political office or have a friend of your choosing serve as president?

Are your friends the type of people you think would be able to lead a country well? 

31. Would you rather have an unlimited supply of Chick-fil-A or Taco Bell?

Let the fast food wars commence! 

32. If you had to, would you rather go back in time and fight in the Colosseum or the trenches of WWI? 

Both spaces are tragedy-filled, but which era and circumstances would you be more willing to navigate? 

33. Would you rather travel with your significant other or best friends?

You could probably choose both, but if you had to choose…

34. Would you rather only wear boots or flip-flops, regardless of the weather? 

If you choose socks, you may have to embrace wearing socks with flip-flops. 

35. Would you rather be able to grow an awesome mustache or an awe-inspiring beard? 

If you choose the mustache, please get one of these mini hair dryers. 

36. Would you rather go skydiving or bungee jumping? 

A great question for thrill-seeking friend groups. 

37. Would you rather only drink coffee and no other beverages (except for water) or never be able to drink coffee again?

Learn just how devoted your friends are to coffee. 

38. Would you rather have a window seat on the airplane or an aisle seat?

Getting up to stretch your legs is nice, but is it better than having a window view? 

39. Would you rather retire early and be able to pour time into a humanitarian aid project or continue working until retirement age and change the company culture of your workplace? 

Either one is a fantastic legacy to leave behind! 

40. Would you rather play on a team where you were close friends with everyone but you lost roughly half your games, or play on a section where you didn’t enjoy the people but you consistently won?

This question can help you feel out who in your friend group plays sports for the sake of hanging out with people and who wants to win. 

41. Would you rather have a relationship like Jim and Pam from The Office or Nick and Jess from New Girl? 

You can’t go wrong with this one. They’re both pretty iconic power couples. 

42. Would you rather reread a familiar comfort book or read something you’ve never read before? 

The constant struggle between something that feels comfortable and familiar and something exciting and new. 

43. Would you rather have your favorite home-cooked meal or go to your favorite restaurant?

Some people love going out while others enjoy cooking something nice themselves—ask your friends, so you know who to invite over the next time you want to cook an elaborate dinner with someone. 

44. Would you rather have the time to read 100 books every year or make 20 new friends? 

As with many other questions in this list, this comes down to helping one recognize how they spend their time. Is it going to places and meeting new people or learning new and exciting information while reading? 

45. Would you rather invite someone you just met to be your +1 to a wedding or go solo?

Which one would you find more intimidating? Going solo to a wedding or going with someone you’ve never met before? 

46. Would you rather have to yell, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!” every time you eat anything or cry, “It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring!” Every time you step outside of your house or car. 

47. Would you rather do a Bachelor‘s marathon or an Amazing Race marathon? 

Either could be fun with good company and great snacks. 

48. Would you rather your cat suddenly have human teeth or your dog starts speaking Italian? 

Either one would feel like a bizarre world to wake up to. 

49. Would you rather play a game of Monopoly or Settlers of Catan? 

Both games take a good couple of hours to play, so which would you rather? 

50. Would you rather go ziplining through the amazon forest or ride a camel around the pyramids?

These questions are great, but if you want to take your conversations to the next level, look no further!

Final Thoughts: Take the Question a Step Further

When you’re using questions like these to get to know someone better, try finding ways to keep the conversation moving forward so you can get to know them better. 

Here are some tips for how to segway a question into a conversation:

• Ask them why. If someone answers and doesn’t give much of an explanation, try asking why they would choose that answer. Here are two ways to do that, depending on whether you also agreed with them or answered differently! 

• “Really? That’s so interesting. I chose the other option for these reasons [give a few sentences with your reasoning]. Why did you feel differently about it? 
• “I agree! After all, [give some of your reasoning for giving that answer]. Why did you choose this option? 

By sharing a bit about why you chose the way you did, you can help it feel less intimidating to someone who may be introverted. 

• Be engaged with the speaker. If someone volunteers how and why they chose the response they did, be sure to engage with what they’re saying. You can do this non-verbally by making eye contact, nodding your head, and leaning in your seat. Once they finish speaking, you can bounce off what they’ve said or ask a follow-up question.
• If you’re playing with a group, try asking the quieter members what they think. First, wait for a few rounds before doing this. This will give everyone a few minutes to get a feel for what is happening and decide when they are ready to jump into the conversation. If you are facilitating the group (for example, in a classroom setting), you may want to draw people into the game. Try asking a question and, after a little while of more chatty people talking, casually say, “[Name], what are your thoughts—mountains or ocean?”
