The 21 Questions Game is just what it sounds like—you ask someone a total of 21 questions to get to know them better. It’s like a conversation filled with questions, and you can play it with friends, family, or even someone you’ve just met.
It’s a perfect game for when you’re getting to know someone, want to pass the time on a long drive or break the ice at a gathering where not everyone knows each other well. The key is that everyone has a chance to share and listen, creating a warm and friendly vibe.
How to Play 21 Questions?
Classic Two-Person Game:
Setup: This version is intimate and meant for two players. It could be two friends, a couple, or even two people on their first date.
- Step 1: You can flip a coin, or maybe the person whose birthday is next gets to ask the first question.
- Step 2: One person asks a question, and the other person answers it. Try to make it a good question that lets you learn something fun or interesting about the other person.
- Step 3: After the first person has answered, it’s their turn to ask a question. Now, it’s the first person’s turn to answer.
- Step 4: Keep trading questions back and forth until you’ve asked 21 questions each.
Classic Group Game:
Setup: Gather your group of friends. You could be at a party, a get-together, or just hanging out.
- Step 1: Sit in a circle or just close together so everyone can hear each other.
- Step 2: Pick someone to start as the answerer. You could go by age, draw straws, or just volunteer.
- Step 3: The person to the right or left of the questioner answers first, then it goes around the group.
- Step 4: After every question, a new person asks the next one, moving around the group in the same direction.
- Step 5: Keep this up until you’ve gone through 21 questions.
