How to play “Would You Rather”
“Would You Rather” is a classic game that has been around for ages. It’s easy to play and can be enjoyed by everyone – from children to adults.
The game is simple: someone poses a question that includes two choices, and the other players must choose one of the two. For example, someone might ask, “Would you rather explore the Amazon rainforest or dive the Great Barrier Reef?” And the other players must decide which they would choose.
You can’t answer “Both!” or “Neither” because that’s not how the game works. Once you’ve chosen, the conversation can continue with answers to why you chose one. This can be an exciting way to get to know someone!
This continues until everyone has had a chance to answer the questions or until you run out of questions. We suggest sticking to one or two categories for the questions for each round. Ready to get started? Let’s do it!
