Random question generator
Tap New question and the random question generator draws one of 300 questions from 10 categories: deep, funny, would you rather, this or that, hot takes, for couples, for friends, get to know you, spicy 18+ and hypothetical. Switch categories on and off to match the people you're with.
What do you wish someone had told you at 20?

It works for a game night, a date, a long drive or a dead group chat. Every question is also listed further down, so you can read them out or screenshot your favourites.

Games you can play with random questions
- Guess my answer. One player reads a question and writes their answer down in secret. Everyone else guesses it. A point for each right guess.
- Hot seat. One player sits in the middle for three minutes and answers every question the table draws, no passing. Then swap.
- Majority rules. Draw a this or that or would you rather question and everyone points at once. Whoever ends up in the minority explains themselves.
- Answer or forfeit. For adults: answer the question or take a forfeit the table picks, like a sip of your drink. Water counts, and nobody has to do either.
- One word answers. Answer every question in one word only. It's harder than it sounds, and the follow up questions write themselves.
Need a question with a right answer instead? Our trivia questions come with answers you can reveal one at a time.
