The next time you're looking to switch things up for game night with the gang, you might want to consider putting Monopoly and the like on pause and instead asking a few fun Would You Rather questions. If you haven't heard of this party favorite, players are asked to choose between two scenarios—which can be serious, silly, strange, or anything else—and then explain their selection. Would You Rather makes for an epic icebreaker activity, great for dates, holiday gatherings, or just a chill get-together with your besties. It's a festive, free way to learn a little bit more about what makes your loved ones tick, because it provides a peek into their personal preferences and even values.

The key is to ask creative Would You Rather questions, like the 200 we've suggested below. Ideally, you want to encourage discussion, so consider using some deep queries that might cause a little soul-searching, like "Would you rather be obscenely wealthy and very unhealthy, or in perfect health and penniless?" But of course, not every question has to be so weighty. Leave plenty of room for head-scratchers that will get everyone giggling, such as "Would you rather know what your pets think of you or never hear them speak?" Check out our list below and jot down the ones you like best, then head to 50 Fun Things to Do With Friends for more entertaining endeavors you can do with your crew.
