A would you rather game for groups, with a twist

In Read the Room, a would-you-rather question goes up on a shared screen, everyone picks a side on their phone, and then guesses how many people in the room picked the same. Picking is easy; reading your friends is the game.

How scoring works

After you pick A or B, your phone asks how many of the players picked your side, counting yourself. An exact guess is 3 points, one off is 1. With 8 players and 5 picking "Pancakes," a pancake player who guessed 5 gets 3 points and one who guessed 4 or 6 gets 1. A waffle player needed to guess 3.

Ask the people who guessed exactly to explain how they knew. That's where the stories come from.

Questions

Can I just use the questions without the game?

Yes. Press the button above for a random question, or read the list out loud.

Are the questions family-friendly?
