Everyday/What-if questions (1–10)
If you compared yourself to an animal, what would you be?
An entertaining way to spark lively conversation is to compare yourself to an animal.
Because you sleep a lot, you’re a koala; because you go at your own pace, you’re a turtle; because you’re quick and nimble, you’re a squirrel—when the comparison matches the person’s image, it’s sure to get laughs.
If people around you say things like, “Don’t you seem kinda panda-like?” you might discover sides of yourself you hadn’t noticed, which can be a fun surprise.
Even if you feel a little shy, sharing with a laugh naturally gets the conversation flowing and creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere—that’s the key.
It also prompts self-reflection, making it a fun and memorable idea for conversation.
What are you into? (What’s your fetish?)
I think everyone spends their days holding on to certain non‑negotiable preferences.
How about asking people about those strong preferences—their “fetishes,” so to speak? It’s interesting to learn where people focus when they look at others and how their gaze moves differently.
Some people might not immediately relate to the word “fetish,” but if you ask them to name something anyway and then explore it little by little, it could help them notice the particular quirks and preferences they hold within themselves.
Until what age did you believe in Santa Claus?
The topic of Santa that everyone goes through is a classic conversation starter that always livens up chats among friends.
Stories about when you believed and how you found out the truth tend to show personality, with all kinds of patterns like “A friend told me and I realized” or “My parents spilled the beans.” With both empathy and playful teasing flying around, the conversation naturally expands and is sure to heat up.
It’s also a heartwarming reminiscence with family or loved ones that makes you feel warm just by listening.
It’s the perfect talk theme when you want to create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
What do you think about white lies?
A gentle white lie you tell out of consideration for someone’s feelings, rather than saying the blunt truth.
Talking about how you feel about that reveals interesting differences in personality and values.
Opinions tend to split—“It’s fine if it doesn’t get found out,” “It’s okay if it’s out of kindness,” and so on—and hearing each person’s view naturally deepens the conversation.
You’ll get earnest takes as well as funny anecdotes, and the way you tell the stories can make them even more entertaining.
Because there’s no single right answer and everyone can speak freely, the conversation keeps flowing and gets lively.
It’s a great topic that sparks fresh, enjoyable exchanges.
What do you put on your fried eggs?
What you put on a fried egg is a classic debate that will probably never be settled.
It’s a topic that reflects each person’s individuality, influenced by things like the environment they grew up in and their personal taste.
Soy sauce and Worcestershire-style sauce are the classics, but some people might use other seasonings or local condiments.
Rather than just announcing what you put on it, it could be fun to turn it into a contest where you present how delicious your chosen seasoning is and try to convince others they’ll want to try it.
Which of Doraemon’s secret gadgets would you like to use?
The beloved national anime “Doraemon” is known for its gadgets with all kinds of special effects.
How about asking people which gadget from the series they’d like to try or have always admired? Depending on the situations where the gadget would be useful, it can also reveal what kinds of challenges they face or what they wish for.
Some people might be real experts on the series, so you might even hear the names of lesser-known gadgets come up.
What’s your favorite rice ball filling?
A conversation topic where everyone talks about their favorite filling in the onigiri everyone’s eaten.
Not only the classics like pickled plum, tuna mayo, or salmon, but surprising answers like just salt can spark laughs and amazement.
One hallmark of this topic is that you start getting hungry as you talk, making it easy to enjoy while empathizing with others.
You can also get into personal preferences like whether you make them yourself or buy them at a convenience store, so the discussion keeps expanding.
It’s a theme where you can enjoy stories and nostalgic memories about your favorite onigiri fillings.
What’s your favorite weapon?
Human history has always been intertwined with weapons.
You can tell from games and the like that a wide variety of weapons exist around the world.
This question asks you to think about your favorite among that vast array.
It may be easiest to start by talking about games that feature many weapons or the ones you often use.
From there, it’s recommended to branch into what you’d want to carry in real life and which weapons seem easy to use.
You might also enjoy the contrast between people who choose weapons out of admiration and those who pick ones that seem genuinely practical.
What do you do on your days off?NEW!
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 the biggest hairstyle mistake you’ve ever made?
Hair grows even if you do nothing, and each time, everyone gets it cut with their own preferences in mind.
This question asks you to recall, among your experiences of getting your hair cut, what kind of hairstyle you felt was a failure.
Encourage them to clearly remember what ideal they were aiming for and how that led to the disappointing result.
It’s also recommended to expand the conversation into how that failure has been applied to their subsequent hairstyles and what their ideal hairstyle is going forward.
