Press Next for a random question to start or restart a conversation. Pick a category or mix them all. Every question is clean and works for friends, family, dates, teams and classrooms.
Want something more playful? Try the would you rather generator, never have I ever, truth or dare or the random team generator.
The best conversation starters are open questions that cannot be answered with yes or no and that invite a short story, such as What was the best part of your week? or What is something you could talk about for an hour?
Ask one question, give everyone a few seconds to think and let each person answer in turn. Keep the tone light, let people pass if they want to and use the next question when the answers dry up.
Yes. Every question is clean and non-controversial: no politics, religion or personal topics that put anyone on the spot. Use the Work and school category for meetings and classrooms.
Ask a follow-up such as Why? or How did that happen?, repeat back one detail you found interesting and share a short story of your own. Questions that start with what, how or tell me about work better than closed ones.
No. The generator shuffles the list and goes through it without repeating until you have seen every question in the chosen category, then it reshuffles.
