Tips

  • For groups, set a rule that each person must justify their choice in 30 seconds — the answers reveal character.
  • Family-Friendly is safe for all ages; preview Extreme alone before using in a mixed group.
  • Use Deep/Philosophical for one-on-one conversations where you want to learn how someone thinks.
  • Avoid voting on the question yourself first if you're hosting — let guests vote, then reveal your own choice.
  • If a question gets a near-50/50 split historically, it's a great debate question; lopsided splits are less interesting.
  • Track favorites with the Save button, then use the saved set to create a custom round at your own party.
  • Combine with a timer — 30 seconds to choose adds urgency and prevents overthinking.
