Getting to know someone can be tough. Your hands get sweaty, you start to stutter, and nothing but word vomit comes out of your mouth. Sounds familiar? The 21 Questions game could be your solution!

This question-and-answer party game can be an opportunity to deepen a relationship of your choice!

How to play 21 Questions

The basic rules are pretty simple. One player asks a question, and another player answers.

If you only have two players, you can play one-sided or two-sided. But if you have more than two players and want to make the game more interesting, look at the variations below.

And always remember, the goal of the game isn’t answering the questions. The goal is to achieve an interesting conversation!

The ‘choose your target’ version:

In this version, you start by randomly choosing one person as the target. You could play rock paper scissors, spin a bottle, or find your way to decide randomly.

Now, the other players ask the chosen player 21 questions, and that player has to answer them.

After the first round, the player who finished answering nominates the next person to be the target.

The ‘circle’ version:

As you might have guessed from the name, all players get together in a circle. Then you decide who gets to start. You can choose either randomly or by having someone volunteer.

Now, the first player asks one question. The player to his right starts to answer the question, then the next player in line and the next until everybody including the first player has answered it.

After the first round, the next player in line asks the second question. And again, everybody answers it.

The ‘roll a dice’ version:

The dice version is pretty similar to the target version of the 21 Questions game. Start by choosing a target player randomly. Then, that player rolls two dice. The number rolled on the first die determines the number of questions that the player has to answer.

The second roll decides which question(s) from those 21 questions will be answered. The dice version is great because it adds an element of surprise and randomness to the game!

The ‘7 questions’ version

In the 7-question version of the game, you divide the questions between the players.

For example: If you have three players, everyone answers seven questions each.

Tip: If the number of people is unable to be divided evenly into 21, maybe just expand your list until division is possible.

21 Questions Game Rules

This game is already fun, but let’s make it more interesting! Here are more tips and rules to play the 21 Questions game.

1. Don’t be judgy! Nobody should judge any answer. If you don’t have anything nice to respond to, maybe just be quiet.

2. Show respect! Yes, personal or even embarrassing questions can be fun. But pay attention and don’t make anyone feel uncomfortable while playing. Just treat them the same way you’d like to be treated.

3. Be honest! Nobody likes liars.

4. Don’t copy questions! It’s boring to hear the same questions over and over again. Be creative and come up with your questions, or look at our list.

5. Keep the conversation going! Add a “why” after some questions to start a deep conversation. Some stories behind an answer are even more interesting than the answer itself.
