130 Yes or No Questions: Fun, Deep and Kid-Friendly Lists
A yes or no question is the quickest way to get a conversation moving. Nobody has to think of a long answer, everyone can join in, and the best ones open the door to a story: "Have you ever met someone famous?" takes one word to answer and ten minutes to explain.
Below are 130 yes or no questions sorted by mood, from silly icebreakers to deeper questions for a quiet evening, plus a list that is safe for kids. Use them at a party, on a road trip, in a team meeting or with a class. If you cannot decide which question to ask next, let our Yes or No Button or the random number generator pick one for you.

Tips for asking yes or no questions
Follow up with "why?"
The one-word answer is only the start. A quick "why?" or "when?" turns a yes or no question into a real conversation.
Match the list to the room
Use the icebreakers and funny questions with new groups, and save the deep questions for people who know each other well.
Let anyone pass
Nobody has to answer a question they do not like. A simple "pass" keeps the game fun for everyone.
Take turns choosing
Let each player pick the next question, or give everyone a number and let the random number generator choose who asks next. In class, the random name picker does the same job.
Turn it into a game
Ask everyone at once and count the yes answers, or play it like truth or dare and have the group guess each answer before it is given.
