Would you rather is one of the easiest party games there is. Someone reads out two options, everyone picks one, and then the arguing starts. It gets people talking and shows a side of friends, family and colleagues you do not normally see.
Here are 100 funny would you rather questions, from silly and hard to deep, plus sets for work, teens, adults, couples, film fans and superpowers. Every one is a hypothetical dilemma with a catch. For quicker, one-word preferences, try our αυτές ή οι ερωτήσεις, a separate list with no repeats from this one.
They work for game night, Χριστουγεννιάτικα πάρτι, Απόκριες, Παραμονή Πρωτοχρονιάς and even a virtual team meeting. In our own sessions at AhaSlides, we put each question up as a two-option poll: a 90/10 result gets a laugh, and a near 50/50 almost always starts a debate.
Why funny questions bring people closer
A silly dilemma does more than fill a silence.
- Laughter makes people open up. In a 2015 experiment by Alan Gray, Brian Parkinson and Robin Dunbar, people who had just watched a funny video shared more intimate details about themselves, as rated by observers, than those who watched a neutral clip.
- Laughing together builds bonds. Robin Dunbar’s team at Oxford found that social laughter raised people’s pain thresholds, which they linked to the release of endorphins and suggested may help explain laughter’s role in social bonding.
- The choice starts the conversation. Nobody can be wrong, so even quiet players commit to an answer, and the “why?” that follows is where the stories come out.

How to play would you rather live
Around a table, one person reads a question and everyone answers in turn. With a bigger group, or a team spread across a video call, it works better when everyone votes at the same time from their phone and the results appear on the shared screen.
Tips for a livelier game:
- Put each question up as a poll. A two-option ζωντανή δημοσκόπηση lets everyone vote at once, so nobody waits for their turn.
- Ορίστε ένα χρονόμετρο. Give five to ten seconds per answer with a χρονόμετρο κουίζ. Quick answers are more honest and funnier.
- Add a forfeit. Anyone who refuses to choose has to answer the next question first.
- Ask for the why. Add an open-ended slide after a close vote so people can defend their choice in a sentence.
- Let chance choose who goes next. Load everyone’s names into a περιστρεφόμενο τροχό and spin to pick who asks the next question.
