There’s something about asking questions that make for an excellent ice breaker.
When it comes to developing friendships and relationships, both sides can’t open up when they aren’t comfortable or when neither side knows the other too well.
By asking ‘this or that’ questions, you solve this problem. Not only do you have fun, but it’s a great ice breaker.
Here I’ve come up with 120 ‘this or that’ questions for adults. You should be able to use these at parties, get-togethers, or whatever occasions you may have with your group of friends (or people you want to become your friends).
Also, check out my list of ‘this or that’ questions for couples here.
How Do You Play This or That for Adults
The dynamics of this game are pretty simple. Each of you has to ask this or that question and everyone else in the room has to answer it.
The questions don’t have to be simple either, as they can be juicy, flirty, or even dirty questions! The most important thing is to have fun with it.
In a way, it’s similar to the game – Would You Rather? The best thing about this game is you can use it as a drinking game or just something to break the ice with someone.
It’s particularly helpful if you want to get to know someone better and want to use these questions as an ice breaker. Whether you want to know someone’s preferences or likes and dislikes, this is a great game to start with!
