How well do you know your friends? Your hubby? What about your kids? Heck, how well do your kids know their friends? This or that questions are a great way to get to know someone or test how well they already know you. They’re perfect for bonding over a campfire or keeping a Zoom meeting with school friends rolling. They’re also an excellent distraction tool for long car rides or extended visits in waiting rooms. This is actually a super fun game to play as a family and makes for a great addition to family game night.

How To Play

You can also ask This or That questions in the form of a game. Before you ask each question, decide how you’d answer the question. Next, ask your partner to answer to guess your answer. If they get it right, move on to the next choice. If they get it right, it’s their turn to ask a question.
