FAQ

What makes a Would You Rather question extreme?

Extreme prompts pit two heavily balanced options against each other with high stakes or permanent consequences, so there is no comfortable answer and everyone has to genuinely commit.

Are extreme questions appropriate for all ages?

They are clean but intense, so they suit older teens and adults who enjoy tough debates more than young children.

How do I make the game more competitive?

Have players vote, then let each side argue for two minutes and award a point to the group that changes the most minds. It turns every question into a mini-debate.
