How to Play “Would You Rather” With Teens

• Enforce Definite Choices: Never let players answer with “neither” or “both.” Forcing a choice between two absurd scenarios is where the humor lives.
• Ask for the Justification: The initial pick is just the setup. Ask players how they would survive their choice. A teenager explaining their strategy for going to school in a medieval helmet is always funnier than the choice itself.
• Keep It Fast: If a question sparks a big debate, let it run. If an answer comes easily, move quickly to the next prompt to keep the energy high.
