Would You Rather Questions
These would you rather questions are sorted into groups, so you can find the right ones fast: funny ones for a laugh, hard ones that take a minute, would you rather questions for kids, for couples and for work, and sets about superpowers, animals, food, travel and space. Every question has its own page with the two sides of the choice and, once at least 50 players have answered it, how the vote split.
We wrote every one of them for Majority Rules, our free daily would you rather game. It deals ten questions a day, the same ten for everyone, and after each answer shows how everyone answered. While a question is in today's game its page keeps its numbers to itself; the day closes at midnight New York time and the split comes back at 12:15 AM New York time. The questions are light and family-friendly, with nothing about politics, religion or real people, so they work as well on a long car journey or in a classroom as in a team chat. For quick picks and the internet's great debates, see our this or that questions.

How to play would you rather
One person reads a question and everyone has to pick one side. There is no "neither" and no "both": the whole game is being stuck with a choice. Then each person says why in a sentence or two, and that is where the laughs and the arguments come from. Take turns asking, and let the person who answered last pick the next question.
Pick the group to suit the room. The questions for kids and the funny ones work with any age; the hard ones suit a slower evening; the questions for work stay safe for colleagues you have just met. For a bigger group, read the question, count to three and have everyone point to a side of the room at once, so nobody just copies the first answer.
Answering for yourself, then seeing the room
Majority Rules asks one thing about each question: what would you pick? Then it shows you how many people answered before you and how everyone split so far. People are often sure the crowd agrees with them, and the split on each page shows how often it does.
If you are using these questions with friends, try a twist: everyone answers in secret, then guesses the majority before you count.
How the votes are counted
Every answer comes from a real game of Majority Rules. When a day closes, our servers add up how many people picked each answer, and keep those totals for good. No answer is linked to anyone, and nothing is stored about who voted.
A question's split is shown once its past days hold at least 50 answers. Below that a result swings too much with each new vote to say anything; at 50 a lopsided question is clearly lopsided, while a close one still reads as close. Because a question comes back every few weeks, the counts grow over time.
Writing your own would you rather questions
A good one makes both sides equally tempting or equally awkward, so the choice is genuinely hard: a pet dinosaur or a pet dragon works, a pet dragon or a pet rock does not. Keep it short enough to read out in one breath, and keep it about the choice rather than about anyone in the room.
Common questions
What are some good would you rather questions?
The best ones make both answers tempting: would you rather be able to fly or be invisible, have a rewind button or a pause button for life, or fight one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses? This page has them in groups (funny, hard, for kids, for couples, for work, superpowers, animals, food and travel), so you can pick the right kind for the people you are with.
What are some funny would you rather questions?
Try these: would you rather sneeze glitter or hiccup bubbles, have spaghetti for hair or sweat maple syrup, or end every sentence with "probably" or start each one with "fun fact"? The funny group above has about thirty more, all harmless enough for any table.
What are good would you rather questions for kids?
Questions about pets, magic and silly homes work best: would you rather have a pet dinosaur or a pet dragon, ride a unicorn or a flying horse, or live in a gingerbread house or a house made of pillows? Every question on this page is family-friendly, and the group for kids collects the ones younger players love most.
How do you play would you rather?
Someone reads a question, everyone picks one of the two answers (no "neither"), and each person explains why. Take turns asking. For a twist, have everyone guess which answer most of the group picked before you count.
Is there a would you rather game online?
Yes. Majority Rules is a free daily would you rather game on Gamefinity: answer ten questions and see, after each one, how everyone answered. It takes about a minute, works on a phone or a computer and needs no download or sign-up.
Where do the percentages come from?
From the players of Majority Rules. Each question page adds up the answers from every past day the question was asked; today's answers are added at 12:15 AM New York time, just after the day closes at midnight New York time.
Why does a question show no result?
Either it is in today's game, and the result would give it away, or fewer than 50 people have answered it so far. Both change on their own: check back after 12:15 AM New York time, or once more people have played.
Are these questions suitable for work or for families?
Yes. They were written to be light and harmless: no politics, religion, real people or brands, and nothing anyone should feel awkward answering.
