How Do You Play Would You Rather Game
We’ve got you covered. There is no hard science behind the game. It’s as easy as breathing:
- The Players: The first step in setting up the game is to choose the participants. The minimum number of players is two. Playing with a large number of people only increases the fun factor.
- Getting Started: Now, you must choose a player to go first. Common consensus, rolling a die, age, etc. can determine the first player.
- The Questions: Would You Rather questions pose a dilemma, either between two good options or two bad options, often of similar natures to make it harder to pick one. But this isn’t compulsory. Players can pose non-sensical questions with two polar opposite choices if they wish. This will make the game sillier and more interesting.
- Examples: 1) Would you rather live somewhere eternally cold or eternally hot? 2) Would you rather have your hair change color every day or have rainbow hair for the rest of your life? 3) Would you rather have an irregularly large nose or an abnormally large chin?
- Gameplay: The first player asks another player a question which the second player must answer. There is no right or wrong answer. The second player then chooses someone else and asks them a question. This picking and choosing can be random, but players are often arranged in some formation, and each player selects the player next to him/her, going in the same direction.
- Rules: 1) Answering with ‘both’ or ‘neither’ is considered foul play. 2) The objective is to present tricky options, making it difficult to pick one easily.
- Duration: The game can go on indefinitely, until the players get tired, run out of questions, or simply wish to stop.
Variations of Would You Rather Game
1) Teams: If several people are playing the game, they can be divided into teams, each team discussing the answer and answering as one.
2) Time Limit: Set a time restriction for answering. The player who doesn’t respond within the time limit gets removed from the game.
3) Drinking Game: This version is for adults! It can go on until the players are too drunk to continue. If the players choose an unpopular option, they must take a drink. They can decide upon the unpopularity by voting after the person has answered.
4) Points: This variation will ensure that a winner emerges at the end of the game. It will also raise the stakes and make the game livelier. Assign a fixed number of points to the person who answers quickly. The slower they respond, the fewer points they’ll get.
Other versions of the game:
1) There is an online version by the name ‘Either’ , where a random question generator shows a new conundrum each time you answer a question.
2) This Would you rather game app is where you can choose from a wide array of topics. Majority of the questions have been created by an engaging community of contributors.
