Would You Rather online: 139 questions to play with someone
Would You Rather is the most effective ice-breaker ever invented: two absurd options, you each pick, and the conversation runs itself. On PLOXX the game is built into chats, with 139 questions across 6 themes that you both vote on.
Why this game works so well
The first ten seconds of a conversation with a stranger are the hardest. "Hey, how are you?" helps nobody. An absurd question does.
"Would you rather fly or be invisible?" forces a choice, and a choice demands justification. Thirty seconds later you are debating instead of hunting for something to say. That is why the format has survived for decades, from playgrounds to parties.
How it works on PLOXX
- You offer the game to the person you are chatting with.
- You both vote on the theme. Six available: Classic, Absurd, Food, Gaming, Movies & web, Spicy. Pick the same one and that is it. Disagree, and a random draw decides between your two choices - nobody imposes their theme.
- You each answer in secret, then both answers reveal at once.
- Your agreement score climbs every time you match, and a matching answer earns Plox for both of you.
Once a theme runs out, the vote returns with the remaining themes: never the same question twice.
139 questions, from soft to spicy
The catalogue deliberately spans very different registers, because a good session alternates the silly and the sincere:
- Classic - "Fly" or "Be invisible", "Read minds" or "See the future".
- Absurd - the biggest theme, and the funniest.
- Food - "Only eat sweet" or "only savoury". Surprisingly heated debates.
- Gaming - "Play solo" or "online with friends".
- Movies & web - series, films, internet culture.
- Spicy - flirty but never sexual: the platform is for ages 15 and up, with ages kept separate.
Every question exists in all 6 interface languages: a French-English match sees the same question, each in their own language.
And after the game?
The mini-game is not isolated, it is a door in. If it clicked, you add the person (6-character friend code) and can move on to 2v2, watching a video together, or building a team.
And if you would rather play without showing your face, you can stay in text or use an avatar.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Would You Rather game free on PLOXX?
Yes, entirely, like the rest of matching. No signup required, and a matching answer even earns Plox for both of you.
How many questions are there?
139 questions across 6 themes. When a theme runs out, the vote returns with the remaining themes so the same questions never come back.
Who picks the theme?
Both of you. Each votes; matching votes settle it, otherwise a random draw decides between your two choices. Nobody imposes their preference.
Can I play with a friend instead of a stranger?
Yes. The game is available in conversations, including with your friends and in Duo 2v2 mode.
What is the minimum age?
15 and up, like the whole platform. The Spicy theme stays flirty without ever being sexual, and minors (15-17) are matched separately from adults.
