90 Would You Rather Questions: Funny, Hard and Kid-Friendly
"Would you rather" is the easiest game to start: one question, two options, and everyone has an opinion. It works at the dinner table, on a long drive, in a classroom warm-up or as a party icebreaker, and the best questions start a debate that lasts far longer than the answer.
Below are 90 would you rather questions sorted by mood, from silly to surprisingly hard, with a list made for kids. Need a quick answer for your own choice instead? Ask the Yes or No Button or spin the picker wheel.

How to play would you rather
Always ask "why?"
The choice takes a second; the reason is where the fun is.
Split the room
In a classroom or a big group, send people to two sides of the room depending on their answer, then let each side argue its case.
Take turns making them up
After a few rounds, let players invent their own questions. The rule: both options must be possible to like.
Let chance pick the next player
Use the random name picker or spin the bottle to choose who answers next, so nobody is left out.
Mix it with other games
Alternate with truth or dare or a round of rock paper scissors to keep the energy up.
