Everyday/What-if Questions (11–20)
What would you bring to a deserted island?
It’s the classic question posed under the hypothetical of being stranded on a deserted island with nothing.
Since we often see celebrities and others answering it, some people may already have a firm answer in mind.
Whether you choose something essential for survival or something useless but precious, it’s also fun to see how seriously someone engages with the question.
The standard rule is that you can bring only one item, but increasing the number you can bring might broaden the range of answers and make the discussion more exciting.
What magic would you like to use?
Many people have likely felt a sense of admiration for stories where characters use magic to embark on adventures and engage in battles.
A hallmark of such magic is its wide range of effects—everything from influencing one’s own body to controlling nature.
As we look at these kinds of stories, let’s ask which specific spells caught your attention and which ones you’d like to try using.
Since the magic that appears varies from work to work, this question can also reveal the differences in the stories someone has experienced.
If you limit the number of choices when asking, you can also enjoy seeing what type of magic that person ends up choosing.
What do you do on your days off?
Everyone spends their days off differently: some use the time to rest, while others fully indulge in their hobbies.
This activity aims to glean personality traits, behavior patterns, and what people value in their daily lives from how they spend their holidays.
Even if someone uses the time for rest, have them consider the finer details of how they rest; if it’s about hobbies, have them think through the specifics—encouraging deeper reflection.
If you discover shared ways of spending time, that can become a great springboard for a lively conversation.
What’s your favorite oden ingredient?
When the cold of winter sets in, you can’t help but crave a warm bowl of oden, right? One of the key charms of oden is the variety of ingredients, and everyone has their own favorites.
Asking about people’s favorite oden ingredients is a classic winter conversation topic.
If you ask for just one favorite, you’ll often get the usual suspects, so having people list a few favorites might make the differences more interesting.
And if someone mentions an ingredient that’s only used in a particular region, the conversation can expand even more from there.
If you could be invisible for just one day, what would you do?
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.
What kind of person do you find difficult to deal with?
Everyone has people they feel “might not be a good fit.” Talking about such folks is a chance to show others your values and way of thinking.
When examples like “people who don’t listen” or “people who get angry quickly” come up, it often creates shared understanding and livens up the conversation.
That said, depending on how you talk about it, it can sound like bad-mouthing, so the trick is to keep it light and joking, mixing in some humor to soften the tone.
With a little care, it can become a chance to learn about each other’s personalities and sensitivities.
Another appeal of this topic is that it naturally leads to other subjects, like “So what type do you like?”
Everyday/What-if Questions (21–30)
What’s the weirdest food you’ve ever eaten?
Stories about food are a classic way to liven up a conversation.
Among them, the theme of “weird foods” always leads to hilarious episodes that make you laugh just by listening.
It’s fun to talk about why you tried a strange food and what you thought of it, and the playful jabs from others make things even more lively.
The speaker’s reactions are entertaining, and listeners start recalling and sharing their own experiences, so the topic never runs dry.
Whether it’s famous oddities from abroad or something unusual you tried for the first time recently, it’s a conversation that both deepens your food knowledge and keeps the energy high.
