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

This question and answer 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’re just 2 players, you can either play one-sided or two-sided. But if you’re more than 2 players and want to make the game more interesting, take a look at the game variations below.

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

The target version

In this version of the game 21 Questions, you start by randomly choosing one person as the target. You could play rock paper scissors, spin a bottle, or find your own way to decide randomly.

Now the other players ask 21 questions and the chosen player answers 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 either decide randomly or maybe someone volunteers.

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 dice version

The dice version is pretty similar to the target version of the 21 Questions game.

At first, you choose a target player randomly. Then this player rolls two dice. How many questions the player needs to answer depends upon the dice rolled and its numbered faces.

For example: Player 1 rolls “4” and “3”. Now the other players ask him seven questions.

Tip: If you just have one die, remember the rolled number, throw it again and add the two numbers.

The 7 questions version

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

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

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

Game rules: 21 Questions

Don’t be judgy! Nobody should judge any answer. If you don’t have anything nice to respond to, maybe just be quiet.
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.
Be honest! Nobody likes liars.
Don’t copy questions! It’s boring to hear the same questions over and over again. Be creative and come up with your own questions or take a good look at our list.
Keep the conversation going! Try and add a “why” after some questions to start a deep conversation. Some stories behind an answer are even more interesting than the answer itself.
