Recently I purchased a game called, "Would You Rather?" The game is filled with questions that begin with the phrase (of course) "WOULD YOU RATHER. . . ?" The idea is to give an answer to each question as if you had only the 2 listed options to choose from. An answer of "neither" or "I don't know" isn't acceptable (just to keep it more fun). Most of the questions are ridiculously crazy, but that's what makes if entertaining!
I've used variations of the game at parties and small groups. It can be a resource for sparking conversation. Here are some of the questions:
1) WOULD YOU RATHER spend one year in a hotel room with a funky smell in it OR with a really uncomfortable bed in it?
2) WOULD YOU RATHER have one million dollars to you today OR ten million in ten years?
3) WOULD YOU RATHER have everything you eat taste sweet OR everything you eat taste salty?
4) WOULD YOU RATHER always take a cold shower OR always get one hour less sleep than you need to be fully rested?
5) WOULD YOU RATHER have to wear scuba flippers during all waking hours for a month OR have to wear a huge, festive sombrero and carry a large trumpet with you everywhere for a month?
6) WOULD YOU RATHER speak like a static radio (fading in and out) your entire life OR sing every word you speak?
7) WOULD YOU RATHER have body odor that can be detected across the room OR be hairy like Bigfoot?
8) WOULD YOU RATHER have your nose grow 1/4 inch a year OR your ears grow 1/2 inch per year?
9) WOULD YOU RATHER spend 3 weeks in a lifeboat with a person who talks incessantly about his or her medical problems OR with somebody who has a chronic, wet, hacking cough?
10) WOULD YOU RATHER live in a world without antibiotics OR without anesthesia?
11) WOULD YOU RATHER speak for only a minute each day OR stand for only a minute each day?
12) WOULD YOU RATHER have to let 30 five-year-old children have the complete run of your apartment for 3 hours with no rules OR let 2 sea lions have the complete run of your apartment for one hour?
