Would You Rather Party Game
Two bad options. Everyone picks one and defends it in a sentence.
- Players
- 4–15
- Time
- 10–20 min
- What you need
- A short list of pairs
Why it works as a party game
Would you rather is a filler party game that becomes a real one when people have to say why. The sentence is the game, not the hand raise.
How to play
- Read a pair of choices. Both should be slightly awful, or both slightly wonderful.
- The group votes at the same time, by hand, so nobody copies the first voter.
- One person from each side gets one sentence to defend the pick.
- Move on. Ten pairs is a full round.
Hosting tips
- Skip pairs that single someone out, and skip anything mean about a person in the room.
- Write the list before the party. Inventing pairs in the moment gets crude fast.
- Use it between longer games, not as the whole night.
