Ultimate multiple-choice questions to liven things up (11–20)
Which would you rather have: the ability to read minds or the ability to see the future?
Sounds like a setup straight out of a manga or anime! Here are some ideas for “Which would you want: the power to read minds or to see the future?” If you’ve watched series where characters have these mysterious abilities, you probably understand the difficulties and pitfalls that come with them.
No matter which you choose, there are pros and cons.
Reading people’s minds doesn’t seem like it would be all good, but being able to see the future might also dampen that sense of excitement.
It’s a compelling topic—which would you choose, and why?
For drinking parties, do you prefer a large group or a small group?
I think it depends on the purpose of the drinking party and the personalities and moods of the people gathering, but if you’re going to have one, is it better to do it with a large group or a small group? The appeal of a large drinking party is that you can meet and talk with many different people.
Because lots of people come together, it has a more event-like feel and a sense of unity, making it easier to get lively.
Small-group drinking parties, on the other hand, make it easier to have calm conversations, and depending on the person, you might even be able to talk more deeply.
Being able to drink in a private room and similar settings is another attraction of small-group gatherings.
Let’s have everyone share which type of party they’d like to join, along with their reasons.
If you had to stay up all night listening, which would be better: complaints or a lecture?
The ultimate choice! If you had to listen all night, which would be better: complaints or lectures? Here are some ideas.
Since it’s called “ultimate,” either option will probably leave you a bit dissatisfied, but use this game as a chance to dig deeper into conversations with friends or family.
This time’s theme is: “If you had to listen all night, which would be better: complaints or lectures?” Neither complaints nor lectures are exactly what you want to hear, but which would you choose? It could be fun to think about your reasons, too.
If you could buy it with money, which would you choose: a healthy body or free time?
It’s a question that asks which you would choose if health or time could be solved with money.
Debates are likely to heat up, with arguments like “Without health, you can’t make use of time,” and “Without time, you can’t make use of health.” What you choose reveals the sense with which you live each day and what you value in life.
Would you make the most of limited time with a healthy body, or would you forcibly increase your time to feel more freedom? It’s a question that seems to probe how you want to seize freedom.
Which would you choose: ramen from a popular restaurant that you can only eat once a year, or cup ramen that you can eat every day?
Compared to ramen you eat at a restaurant, cup noodles tend to have a plain, unremarkable image.
With that in mind, here’s a question: would you rather be able to eat ramen from a popular shop only once a year, or be able to eat ramen whenever you like but only cup noodles? Whether you’d choose carefully crafted shop ramen even with limited chances, or prefer ramen you can eat anytime even if it’s called ordinary, it really shows how people relate to ramen.
For those who actually prefer cup noodles, this question might feel like heaven.
