As a drinking game
- Whoever picked the less popular option takes a sip.
- If the room splits exactly in half, everyone sips.
- Anyone who tries to say “neither” sips twice.
Always optional: whether you drink, and what you drink, is always your own choice and your own responsibility. Water counts. For friends aged 18 and over.
Questions people ask
- How do you play would you rather?
- Someone reads a question with two options and everyone has to pick one, even if both are bad. Then the group sees how it split and the minority explains themselves. You can play with 2 or more people.
- What makes a good would you rather question?
- Two options that are both tempting (or both awful), so the group actually splits. If everyone picks the same answer instantly, it’s too easy.
- Can you play would you rather online with friends?
- Yes. On Drunken Penguins everyone picks on their own phone at the same time, and the results show how the room split and who went against the crowd.
- How do you make would you rather a drinking game?
- The side with fewer votes takes a sip. Drinking is always optional. Whether you drink, and what you drink, is always your own choice and your own responsibility. Water counts.
