[Talk Theme] Liven Up the Drinking Party! A Collection of Funny Questions (1–10)
Favorite weapon
I think it’s a topic that would really get a group of gamers excited! Games like Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Monster Hunter feature countless weapons.
Why not talk about which weapon you like the most among them? Maybe you love greatswords, think katanas are cool, or even enjoy those “how would you even hold that?” kinds of over-the-top, romanticized weapons.
Of course, weapons from manga, anime, novels, and the real world are all fair game too.
The animal I want to be
What animal you’d like to be—it might just be a universal, fail-safe conversation topic.
It may seem harmless, but people’s tastes in animals can be surprisingly deep.
Even if you both say “dog,” digging into specific breeds can really expand the conversation.
For example, the Great Dane, the world’s largest large-breed dog, can stand over one meter tall at the shoulder.
And the world’s smallest cat is the black-footed cat, a wild species from Africa; even as an adult, it’s only about the size of a slightly larger-than-average kitten.
Rather than just talking in broad categories, chatting while you both look up the animals you’d like to be on your phones—showing each other pictures as you go—might bring you closer and help you hit it off.
Things I want to try at least once in my life
I think everyone spends their days with their own goals and dreams.
How about talking together about the goals you have in life and the things you want to try before your life ends? Sharing close-to-home goals is nice, but it might be even more exciting here to talk about big dreams and ideals.
Wanting to see the world’s most breathtaking views or to indulge in extraordinary luxury—those differences in ideals shaped by people’s ways of thinking and personalities are a fun highlight.
By resonating with someone else’s ideal, you might even add a new item to your own list of dreams.
My indispensable favorite item
Questions that reveal everyday preferences and individuality are like indispensable cherished items.
Stories about familiar belongings create a relaxed atmosphere and make conversation flow more easily.
Because favorite items—like a beloved mug or a planner you’ve used for years—reflect a person’s tastes and personality, they can also be a chance to discover unexpected sides of someone.
The range is broad, from practical tools to hobby-related items, and they can draw out interesting anecdotes.
It’s an easy topic to talk about while still showing each person’s likes, making it a great theme for creating a sense of closeness at a drinking party.
My favorite school lunch
A great theme for reminiscing about your school days is favorite school lunches.
The menus vary by generation and region, so the conversation really flows.
There are items like fried bread and curry that everyone feels nostalgic about at least once, and it’s fun to say, “At my school, we even had this!” It also naturally brings out stories about lunchtime manners and episodes with friends, adding variety to the conversation.
By sharing childhood memories, you can feel much closer to each other.
It’s a perfect topic to warm up a drinking party and enjoy a nostalgic chat.
Recommended manga
When it comes to easy, approachable conversation topics, recommending your favorite manga is a great choice.
Regardless of age or interests, many people have read some manga, so the discussion naturally expands and can liven up a drinking party.
Simply introducing a series you’ve loved since childhood or one you recently got into often creates common ground with comments like, “I’ve read that too!” Another plus is the wide range of genres—romance, action, fantasy, slice-of-life—making it a good way to learn each other’s preferences.
It’s a theme that helps you discover unexpected sides of the people there and keeps the conversation flowing without awkward pauses—perfect for social gatherings.
Companies I would like to work for
Asking about companies someone would like to work for is a question that reveals their future dreams, interests, and values, and it often leads to deeper conversations.
In a social setting like a drinking party, it’s easy to talk about specific company names and reasons, such as “I want to experience cutting-edge technology at an IT company” or “I want to be involved in providing fun at a theme park.” It becomes a chance to share each other’s ideals and aspirations.
Choosing an unexpected company can spark surprise and laughter, making the conversation lively.
Since it lets you talk from a different perspective than your everyday work, you’ll discover new things and the atmosphere brightens.
You can also see differences in attitudes toward work and values, making it a warm yet meaningful topic.
A superpower I’d like to try using
Even when we say “superpowers” in a single breath, there are so many kinds that it makes for a fun topic at drinking parties.
If there’s a superpower you’d like to use, the conversation naturally leads to what purpose you’d use it for and how you’d use it, so the talk never runs out, right? Also, a friend who hears your idea might point out a power that’s actually more effective than the one you thought you wanted, which could be an interesting twist.
It’s not a realistic topic, but that’s exactly why it’s a great conversation starter that can liven up a night out.
If you could be invisible for just one day, what would you do?NEW!
Psychic powers are a staple element in stories, and many people have probably imagined abilities they admire.
Among such powers, let’s focus on the ability to become invisible and try to predict what someone would want to do with it.
It could be exciting to consider this not only from the questioner’s personality but also to see how close it is to what the respondent wants to do.
You could also segue into topics like other possible uses, making it a fun conversation starter as well.
Teach me knowledge that’s useless.
How about sharing those bits of knowledge you picked up somewhere in life that aren’t really useful for getting through the day? Let’s trade facts others might not know and satisfy our curiosity in the moment.
By tossing out random tidbits from all kinds of fields—like fun facts about animals or trivia about space—we might also discover the areas each of us is interested in.
Even if a particular fact isn’t useful on its own, a small piece of knowledge might spark an interest in that field.
