How to use random questions to get to know someone
Random questions work because they skip the small talk script. Nobody has a rehearsed answer to "Which month feels like a Monday?", so you hear how someone actually thinks.
- Let the card chooseDraw at random instead of picking. It feels less like an interview, and nobody can accuse you of a hidden agenda.
- Answer it yourself tooRandom questions are a swap, not a quiz. Give your own answer after theirs, especially if it's worse.
- Chase the weird detailThe best part is the follow up. If someone says their oldest working thing is a 1998 alarm clock, ask why it survived.
- Skip without guiltAny question can be skipped. Draw the next one and keep the pace up.

Three ways to turn random questions into a game
A random question is fun once. With a small rule it can fill a whole evening.
- Answer in five seconds. Read the card and count down. No thinking allowed, which is exactly why the answers are good.
- Guess the answer. Before your friend answers, everyone else guesses what they'll say. A point for each correct guess.
- Pass the phone. Whoever answers draws the next card and picks who gets it. The questions travel around the room on their own.
