50 Fun Questions to Ask Your Friends
These are games. Play them tonight, in a room or in a chat.
Skip them if you wanted a real conversation. That list is questions to ask your friends. If more than two people are answering, switch to group chat games. If it is just the two of you and you are a couple, the couples list has lighter games at the end.

Common questions
Do these work in person and in a chat?
Yes. Would-you-rathers and rankings work in both. Read one out loud, or paste one message.

Skip to the hypotheticals. They feel like a bit, not an orientation.
Where are the serious questions?
On the friends list, in the deeper section.
