45 Would You Rather questions you will debate for hours

The secret of Would You Rather questions is that there is no right answer. Two options, both flawed somewhere, and the way you justify your pick reveals exactly how you think. A good Would You Rather question sparks a debate within five minutes, and the best ones are still being argued about the next day.

These 45 questions come in four categories: funny ones for warming up, hard decisions for the debates, deep ones for meaningful conversations, and absurd ones for when everyone has fully let go. There is one rule: you must choose!
