72 Would You Rather Questions for Couples

How to play Would You Rather as a couple

You need nothing but this list (or one phone). Take turns reading a question out loud. Both of you answer at the same time, either by saying it or by pointing left or right on “three”, then explain your pick. If you both chose the same thing, ask “why?” anyway. The reasons are usually more interesting than the answer.

A few house rules that help:

• No “neither” answers. You have to pick one, even if both are bad.
• The reader goes second. That stops one person from steering the other.
• One follow-up per question. Ask one extra question about the answer before moving on.

Tips for a better couples game night

1. Mix the moods. Start light with the funny and romantic questions, move into the deep ones once you are both relaxed, and keep the spicy section for later in the night.
2. Ask “why” every time. The answer to “would you rather elope” takes two seconds. The reason behind it can tell you something new about your partner.
3. Write your own. Once you know each other’s tastes, make up questions where both options are things your partner secretly loves. It is harder to answer than it looks.
