How to play “Would You Rather”
“Would You Rather” is simple and easy to play. To begin, ensure you have at least two people (the more, the better). Then, choose a player to start and decide which direction the game will go — clockwise or counterclockwise.
Each player takes turns coming up with a question that begins with “Would you rather…”. For example, “Would You Rather be a millionaire or have the ability to read minds?”
One at a time, each player must pick between one of the two options. You can’t pick both or neither! After everyone has made their decision, the next player goes next.
The game can go on as long as you want it to! And to make it more fun, you can even have players explain why they chose their answer. This makes the game more interactive and allows players to understand each other’s personalities better.
