50 Would You Rather Questions for Parties

Would You Rather is deceptively simple: two options, pick one, defend your choice. But the best questions create debates that last longer than the game itself. The secret to a great Would You Rather question is balance — both options should be genuinely difficult to choose between, whether because they're both terrible or both great.

Here are 50 of our favourite Would You Rather questions, organized from family-friendly fun to more thought-provoking dilemmas. In the party drinking game version, the minority group — whoever made the less popular choice — takes a drink. Play online with our free Would You Rather game that has hundreds of questions ready to go.
