How to Play

Would You Rather is a game most people have played at one point in their lives. While there are many different variations to the game, the basics of the game are consistent. You will be asked to select what you would rather do from a series of two choices. Selecting neither of the choices is not an option. This is what makes the game fun, so I'll repeat it: selecting neither of the choices is NOT AND OPTION. The choices are typically either both negative or both positive (though there can be choices with both pros and cons). Players are encouraged to ask questions to help make one of the choices rise above the other.

Some people play the game with a time limit on the questions, and when the time limit is reached, all players must answer with the information they have. THIS IS NOT HOW WE PLAY.

Some people play the game where the creator of the question determines that one of the answers is correct for one reason or another, and informs the players who was right after a certain amount of time. Though some of our questions were created with this type of play in mind, THIS IS NOT HOW WE PLAY.

Some people play the game where players do not have to explain their answers. THIS IS NOT HOW WE PLAY. We believe that explaining the answers is one of the best parts of the game as it allows for more discussion, and more opportunities for laughs.

HOW WE PLAY:
-Players must select one of the two options. Choosing neither is not an option.
-Players must explain why they selected that option.
-There is no time limit.
-There are no right or wrong answers.

*We encourage players to be competitive, as this also raises the level of discussion and opportunities for hilarity. Tell the other players why you're right and they're wrong (even though there are no right or wrong answers).
