Funny would you rather questions

Gross, silly, and best asked after everyone has finished eating.

Would you rather eat 10 live spiders, or lick a gas station toilet seat clean?
- EAT SPIDERS
  Spiders are just protein, and it's over in ten crunchy seconds.
- LICK IT CLEAN
  A toilet seat holds still. Ten live spiders will not.
Would you fight one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses?
- ONE BIG DUCK
  One opponent is easier to track than a hundred tiny hooves at once.
- 100 HORSES
  Each tiny horse goes down with a gentle kick.
1,000 cockroaches in your attic, or one friendly stranger?
- 1,000 ROACHES
  You can call an exterminator, but there's no service for strangers.
- ONE STRANGER
  One friendly stranger won't crawl across your face at night.
Would you rather never eat cheese again, or never eat bread again?
- NO CHEESE
  Bread is the base of half your meals, and cheese is just a topping.
- NO BREAD
  Rice can stand in for bread, and nothing stands in for cheese.

Hard would you rather questions for adults

These ones are about your actual life. Nobody gets out clean.

Would you rather live with your parents for two years, or your ex for a month?
- MY PARENTS
  Free laundry and home cooking beat a month of awkward silence.
- MY EX
  A bad month ends fast, while two years at home is a whole chapter.
Three hours stuck in an elevator: your boss, or your partner's mom?
- MY BOSS
  Work talk fills three hours, and nothing said ends up at Thanksgiving.
- PARTNER'S MOM
  Three hours of bonding and you're her favorite at every holiday.
A job you love for $40K, or a job you hate for $150K?
- DREAM JOB
  Money can't fix dreading every single Monday for thirty years.
- BIG PAYCHECK
  An extra $110K a year makes almost any Monday easier to take.
Would you rather give up your phone for two weeks or hot showers for a month?
- NO PHONE
  Two weeks offline is a vacation, and you'd come back calmer.
- NO HOT SHOWERS
  You'd rather shiver for a month than miss two weeks of group chat.
Maid of honor or best man: your best friend, or your sibling?
- BEST FRIEND
  Your best friend chose you, and they know the stories worth telling.
- SIBLING
  Your sibling will still be in the family photos when you're eighty.

Superpowers and big what-ifs

The gentle ones. Good for a first round, or a table of people who just met.

Would you rather read minds or travel through time?
- READ MINDS
  You'd win every poker game and every job interview.
- TIME TRAVEL
  You could watch dinosaurs and still be home in time for dinner.
Invisibility, or flying for six hours a day?
- GO INVISIBLE
  You'd finally hear what your friends say about you after you leave.
- FLY 6 HOURS
  Your commute would be a view over the clouds and zero traffic.
A year on a space station, or a year in a glass city under the sea?
- SPACE STATION
  You'd look down at the whole Earth every ninety minutes.
- UNDER THE SEA
  You'd keep gravity and get whales drifting past the window.
A rewind button or a pause button for your life?
- REWIND
  You could take back the worst thing you ever said.
- PAUSE
  You could stop the best night of your life and stay a while.
Would you rather be the funniest person in the room, or the most confident?
- FUNNIEST
  The person who makes the room laugh gets invited back every time.
- MOST CONFIDENT
  Walking in sure of yourself gets you the job and the date.

What makes a good would you rather question

It has to be a fair fight. Both options should be bad, or both good, by about the same amount. If everyone picks the same side in two seconds, the question is over before anyone has said a word.

Both options also have to hurt for a while. This is the part people miss. A gross thing you do once is over fast, so it beats almost anything that lasts. Put ten live spiders against one quick lick of a gas station toilet seat and most people take the lick. Make it "lick it clean," which takes some time, and suddenly the spiders have a case. That's why the card says clean.

Specific beats vague. "Rich or happy?" gets one answer and a shrug. "A job you love for $40K, or a job you hate for $150K?" gets someone working out their rent on a napkin. A number or a length of time gives people something to fight over.

The best ones are about the person answering. Two years with your parents or a month with your ex sounds like a housing question. Really you're saying which one you can stand, and everyone at the table will have a theory about why you picked it.

How to write your own

Start with something everyone has lived through: a commute, a roommate, a group chat, a boss.
Make both sides cost something. If one side is free, nobody picks the other one.
Add a number. "Ten live spiders" is a question. "Some spiders" is a shrug.
Stretch the short option. If one side is over in a second, make it last: a month, every day, until it's clean.
Test it on two people. If they both pick the same side straight away, make the popular side worse until they don't.
Keep it PG-13 if you don't know the room. Gross is fine. Cruel isn't.

Running it at a party

Read the question out once, then count to three and have everyone point: left for the first option, right for the second. Answering at the same time stops people from waiting to see what the room does.

Start with the minority. Whoever is outnumbered explains first, and everyone else gets one question each. The best five minutes of the night usually come from the one person who picked the spiders and has reasons.

Keep it moving. Five minutes a question is plenty, unless the table is still loud at five, in which case you've found a good one. Save the gross ones for after dinner. For faster rounds, this or that questions work the same way with lower stakes, and the debate topics page has questions that take longer to settle.

Make it a game

In The Lobbyist, everyone picks an option on their own phone, in secret. Then one player, the Lobbyist, is told to argue for the option they didn't pick. You argue, you vote on who's faking, and the phones show who was lying. Defending a hundred duck-sized horses is hard enough when you mean it. Doing it while you secretly want the duck is a skill, and here's how to get better at it.
