How to play without a phone

Would You Rather is a talking game. Someone reads a question with two options, and everyone picks one and says why. This page has 460 clean questions sorted by tone and audience, and a free game above that runs on one phone, keeps a tally of the room's choices and never repeats a question.

How to play

You need one phone and at least two people. No app, no account and no sign-up.

Open this page and look at the game panel at the top. Each pack has a level. Level 1 is for everyone, including young kids and grandparents. Level 2 is for teens and adults. Level 3 is bold, which means awkward or daring, but still clean.
Turn on the packs you want and press Start. If you just want to play, the level 1 packs are already on.
The phone shows a question with two sides. Read it out loud, starting with "Would you rather".
Everyone picks a side. You can shout it, point left or right, or raise a hand. Then each person gets a few seconds to explain the choice.
Tap the side most people chose, then tap Next. The game keeps a tally of the winning sides, and at the end you see how your room leaned.

Questions do not repeat until you have seen the whole deck. If someone closes the page by mistake, the game picks up where you left off. Press "Full screen" so the text is big enough to read across a table.

Rules and variations

The basic game has one rule: you must pick. "Neither" and "both" are not allowed. Here are a few ways to change it up.

Majority guess. Before the vote, one player guesses which side will win. A correct guess scores a point. The player with the most points after ten rounds wins.
Defend the loser. After the vote, one person from the bigger side must argue for the side that lost. If they change at least one mind, they score.
Hot seat. One player sits in the middle and answers every question for three minutes. Everyone else guesses their answer first.
Two teams. Split the room in half. Each team picks a side together and has thirty seconds to make the best case. Another player judges.
Write your own. After every five questions, the player who lost the last vote has to invent a new question for the group.

Tips for a good game

Start light. Open with the Funny or Food pack. Silly questions warm people up, and the Hard choices and Deep packs land better once everyone is talking.

Ask "why". The best part of this game is the reason, not the choice. If someone says "flying" and stops, ask what they would do first. One good follow-up beats three quick questions.

Mixed ages. Keep to level 1 when kids are playing. Let the youngest player read the question, or let them tap the winning side. Small kids love being in charge of the phone. Adults can still have fun with the Superpowers and Christmas packs.

Shy players. Nobody has to explain if they do not want to. Pointing is enough. Pair a quiet player with a louder one, or play the team version, so nobody feels put on the spot.

Work and classrooms. The Work pack is good for a team icebreaker, and Kids and school works as a warm-up before a lesson. Keep rounds short: five or six questions is plenty.

Know when to stop. Stop while people are still laughing. The game remembers where you are, so you can continue at the next party.

How to play without a phone

You can play with nothing at all. Scroll down to the full list of questions on this page, sorted by pack. One person reads from it, and everyone answers out loud.

For a party, print the list and cut each question into a slip. Fold the slips into a bowl or a hat, and players take turns pulling one out and reading it. Keep a sheet of paper for scores if you play majority guess.

On a road trip, the passenger can read questions while everyone in the car answers. In a classroom, read a question and have students move to the left or right side of the room to show their choice. It gets everyone up and moving, and it is a quick way to see how the class splits.

FAQ

How do you play Would You Rather?

One person reads a question with two options. Everyone picks one side, out loud or by pointing, and explains why. There are no right answers. The fun is in the reasons and the arguments that follow.

How many players do you need?

Two is enough, but it is better with three to ten. With a big group, split into two halves of the room and let each side defend its choice.

What are good would you rather questions for kids?

Turn on the level 1 packs: Funny, Food, Kids and school, Superpowers and fantasy, Travel, Christmas and Thanksgiving. They ask about pets, snacks, magic powers and silly situations, and they work for children from about six years old.

How do you win Would You Rather?

The classic game has no winner. If your group wants points, play the majority rule: guess which side most people will pick before the vote, and score a point for every correct guess. The tally on the phone makes this easy to check.

Are these questions clean enough for school or work?

Yes. There is nothing about dating, drinking, politics, religion or anything rude. The Awkward and bold pack is about embarrassing moments, like tripping on stage, and it is still safe for a classroom or a team meeting.

Can I play Would You Rather without a phone?

Yes. Use the full list on this page. Read from it, or print it, cut it into slips and pull one from a bowl each round.
