Funny This or That Questions

Funny this or that questions that split the room

Some questions have no right answer and everyone has a strong opinion anyway. That is what these funny this or that questions are for. The page holds 48 silly, oddly specific pairs and pulls one at random every time you press Next. Read one out and watch the room divide.

Three cards from the deck:

• “Socks with sandals or shorts in winter?”
• “Toilet paper over or under?”
• “Llama or alpaca?”

How to play

1. Open the page on a phone or a shared screen.
2. Read the pair out loud with a straight face.
3. On three, everyone shouts or points to their choice.
4. Press Next, the space bar or the right arrow for the next card.

Every card you have used shows up in the “Seen so far” list. Start over clears it and reshuffles.

Games that work with funny picks

Odd one out wins

Everyone answers at the same time. Players in the smaller group get a point. If the room splits evenly, nobody scores. After ten cards, the top scorer reads the next round.

Courtroom

When a card splits the group, each side picks a lawyer who gets twenty seconds to argue their case. The rest of the room can switch sides after the speeches. The side with more people at the end wins.

Rapid fire

One person answers ten cards in a row as fast as possible while the group times them. No pauses allowed. A hesitation of more than two seconds means starting over.

Draw it

On a whiteboard or paper, one player sketches their chosen answer while the others guess which side they took. Costumes and strange animals make this easy to draw badly, which is the point.

Where these get the best laughs

• Party warm ups before the main game.
• Family game night, since many of the cards suit all ages.
• Classroom Fridays as a five minute reward.
• Team socials when you want people off the topic of work.
• Social posts and stories, by copying a card with the copy button and asking followers to vote.

Keep it moving

Funny picks work best fast. Read, vote, laugh, next. Save the discussion for the cards that split the room close to even, and skip any card that gets a shrug. If you play with kids and adults together, let the youngest player be the reader. Hearing a seven year old ask a room of adults a ridiculous question with total seriousness is half the fun.

Fair, random order

The cards are shuffled with your browser’s cryptographic random generator. You go through all 48 before any card returns, and then the deck reshuffles on its own. It is free and nothing to install.

More silly question games
