How to Play Would You Rather

With two players, would you rather becomes a conversation instead of a contest.

  1. Take turns reading a question to each other.
  2. Before you answer, guess your partner's pick out loud.
  3. Both answer and explain. A correct guess scores a point.
  4. Let the good ones run. A question that turns into a 20-minute story did its job.

Three ways to change it up

  • Newlywed round. Write down your answer and your guess for your partner's, then reveal both at once. Tally who knows whom better.
  • Winner plans. Whoever scores more points in ten questions picks the next dinner, movie or weekend activity.
  • Then and now. Answer each question twice: as you would have when you first met, and as you would today.

Frequently asked questions

What are good would you rather questions for couples?

Good ones show how your partner thinks about everyday life and the future: a house in the country or an apartment in the city, a surprise trip or one you plan together. Both options should sound nice, so the reasons are what you learn from.

What are romantic would you rather questions?

Romantic ones are about small gestures and shared plans: love notes or breakfast in bed, a sunset picnic or a dance in the kitchen. The Romantic section has 25, all sweet and clean.

Are these questions OK for a new couple?

Yes. They stay on light, fun ground: habits, travel, food and future plans, with nothing about exes or anything too personal. They work on a second outing and on an anniversary.

How do couples play would you rather?

Take turns asking. Before answering, each partner guesses the other's pick, and a correct guess scores a point. The questions start conversations; the scoring just keeps it moving.

What are funny would you rather questions for couples?

Tease the habits you both know: blanket hogging, thermostat fights, who loads the dishwasher wrong. The Funny section has 25 of them.
