Turn Would You Rather into a group party game. Give the classic game of This or That a twist with these five fun ways to play with a group!
One of the best ways to get conversations flowing—whether with a group of strangers or even with close family members—is a classic game of “Would You Rather” into a group party game!
How To Play ‘Would You Rather’
Would You Rather is a playful This or That twist on the classic game Truth or Dare.
In this fun, question-and-answer game, players choose between two This or That choices —or— two Would You Rather impossible situations.
Players don’t have to explain their answers, but conversations always begin to flow!
Why ‘This or That’ Is The Best Group Game
Would You Rather is easy to adapt to any event or theme
The multi-generational game brings together diverse groups — different ages, generations, grade levels, extended families, and even corporate departments
It is a great ice breaker ending awkward group silences
This game doesn’t require dice or a game board
Play the game with 2 or 22 people; there is no limit
It is absolutely FREE
5 Ways To Play As a Group Party Game
The key to a group game of This or That is keeping the play friendly and fun.
Here are five ways to turn the classic game into an engaging and interactive group party game!
01. Get Up & Go
Add a bit of movement and energy to the room with this physical version of This or That.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Call the group together to the center of the room. Designate one side of the room “Option 1” and the other side “Option 2.”
Ask the This or That question.
Have people move to one side of the room or the other to answer the question.
Give people a chance to interact, chat, and explain their choice before calling everyone back to the middle for another group party question.
02. Points & Pairs
Create a sense of togetherness with this random couples version of Would You Rather. It is a playful ice breaker for pairs.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Split the group into pairs.
Ask the This or That question.
On the count of three, if the answer a team yells out matches, that pair gets a point.
Play for a designated time up or up to a specific point amount. The person with the most points wins!
03. The Majority Rules
Try to guess what the group will answer with this point driven approach to Would You Rather.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Provide a pen and scrap paper to each person.
Each person writes down a guess as to how the majority will answer the This or That question.
On the count of three, if the answer flipped over matches the majority, a point is rewarded.
Play up to a specific point amount (i.e., 7 to win). Or play for a designated time (i.e., 10 minutes). The team with the most points wins!
04. Pick & Pass
Print and cut questions onto strips of paper for this playful speed round of This or That!
Sit in together in a circle.
Have each individual in the group pick a random question to answer.
Pass to the next person.
This is a fun way to move through a large number of Would You Rather questions in a short period. Picking engages people!
05. This or That Circle
This more traditional approach to the game is fun as a group too.
Sit in together in a circle.
Read a single Would You Rather question.
Have each member of the family or group share their answers.
This works best with smaller groups. The best part of the game is hearing everyone’s answers!
