Good would you rather questions are one quite possibly the greatest developments of the 20th century.
Because if you're looking for questions to ask to pass the time, it's hard to beat them. Taking turns asking would you rather questions is a classic, timeless game that's not only surprisingly fun, but also versatile and usable in virtually any social situation.
Whether you're trying to make one person laugh, getting to know a group better, or you just feel like tormenting someone with some of life's most difficult conundrums, any thing you want to name, these would you rather games questions are sure to help you head the right direction.
And pro tip: they're also a blast on long car rides. Every time.
But a word of warning: once you start asking would you rather questions, it's incredibly difficult to stop (and stop from them getting more and more extreme)! You'll never be able to stop having fun with this.
After deciding on an answer, make sure you discuss the reasons behind your decisions... or would you rather never go into details? Either way, when you disagree on answers, it's a lot of fun trying to convince each other why your answer is better.

These would you rather conversation starters are perfect when you feel like chatting, but you'd rather keep the conversation easy.
Because they give the other person a very specific topic to think about and discuss, they're perfect for igniting a discussion that doesn't require too much critical thought. Sometimes you just want to keep it simple.
These multipurpose would you rather conversation starters can be used to fill awkward silences at dinner, pass the time at work, or even to help a shy person open up a bit.
They're super random, and there's nothing wrong with that. After all, discussing the weather gets old fast.
Here are the 18 best would you rather conversation starters:
You can also discuss whether or not brunch or "linner" are allowable loopholes. Are you willing to skip every meal of any of these?
Are you more of a dinner party or slumber party kind of person?
Would you rather be able to sit or stand for the rest of your life? Both get old fast.
How do you prefer to communicate with the world? Verbally or musically? Whichever direction you head, you're going to be stellar.
Both have their pros and cons. Discuss.

Life's like a movie. Would you rather live in front or behind the camera? Do you like to be the star or be in control?

This question shows whether the other person values physical or mental prowess more.

Putting yourselves in these imaginary situations gets the imagination juices flowing. It gives both of you a chance to flex your creativity muscles and bounce scenarios off each other. These questions are pure fun and hilarity. You can even do this game with your family. Plus, humor is one of the most powerful tools for bonding with someone.
A lot of these questions force you to choose between the lesser of two evils. Expect lots of face-palming, cringing, and, and sighs of dissatisfaction. Feel free to try to negotiate loopholes or suggest compromises.
