Frequently asked questions

How do speed rounds of funny this or that questions work?

Read pairs back to back and give players three seconds to answer each one. No thinking allowed. After ten pairs, compare answers and see who matched most often. Quick rounds create surprising results and plenty of laughter.

Is this a good group warm up?

Yes. Answers take seconds and there is no wrong choice, so even shy players join in. Run a short round at the start of a party or class, then move on to longer games once everyone is relaxed.

Can young kids play?

Yes. The pairs use simple words and familiar things like snacks, animals and cartoons. Younger kids can point or hold up fingers instead of talking, which keeps the game inclusive for early readers and shy speakers.

What if someone wants to defend a pick?

Allow one short defense per round. The player gets ten seconds to argue, and anyone convinced can switch sides. It turns a quick game into a playful debate. The teen dilemmas suit longer arguments.
