72 Would You Rather Questions for a Girls Night In

Would you rather questions for girls night are the easiest icebreaker you will ever set up: no prep, no prizes, no one feeling put on the spot. Every question forces a choice, which means everyone has an opinion and suddenly no one is scrolling their phone. Six rounds, twelve questions each, and the conversations that follow are the actual entertainment.

How to Play

Read each question aloud, or deal the printed cards face-down and let whoever draws go first. Everyone answers before any debate starts, so no one is swayed by the loudest voice in the room. Disagreements are the point: follow the tangents, then move on. No scoring, no winners, just a room full of strong opinions and the friendships to match. The six rounds are ordered to warm up slowly and get more revealing as the wine kicks in, so play them in sequence the first time.

Round One: Easy Openers

Low stakes, fast answers, and a guaranteed way to find out who in the group has wildly different taste in everything. These twelve pairs ease everyone in before the real debates begin.

1. Would you rather have a coffee shop with your favourite barista on speed dial, or a home espresso machine that always gets it perfect?
2. Would you rather read the book before seeing the film, or go in completely cold and discover the story on screen?
3. Would you rather have a long hot bath every evening, or a sharp cold shower every morning?
4. Would you rather cook a full dinner from scratch every night, or have a perfectly curated meal kit delivered to your door?
5. Would you rather spend Sunday morning at a farmers market, or spend it in bed with a stack of magazines?
6. Would you rather always have fresh flowers in the house, or always have a candle burning?
7. Would you rather be a night owl who does her best work after dark, or a morning person who gets everything done by noon?
8. Would you rather have a wardrobe that is perfectly organised but small, or enormous but chaotic?
9. Would you rather listen to a podcast on your commute, or sit in complete silence?
10. Would you rather live in a flat with a spectacular city view, or a cottage with a private garden?
11. Would you rather have a personal chef who cooks whatever you want, or a personal shopper who always nails your style?
12. Would you rather binge a whole series in one weekend, or watch one episode a night and savour it?

Round Two: Style and Taste

This round finds out who the real aesthetes are and who secretly lives in tracksuits. Both options in every pair have genuine defenders, which is exactly what makes this round worth playing.

1. Would you rather wear one perfect capsule wardrobe of twenty pieces forever, or have a new outfit to discover every single morning?
2. Would you rather splurge on one designer bag that lasts a lifetime, or spend the same money on ten high-street pieces you love right now?
3. Would you rather have perfect nails every day but mediocre hair, or perfect hair every day but bare nails?
4. Would you rather dress in one colour head to toe for a year, or never wear the same combination twice?
5. Would you rather have unlimited access to a tailor who fits everything perfectly, or unlimited access to the best vintage shops in the world?
6. Would you rather live in a home decorated exactly to your taste but tiny, or a sprawling place you have to share the decorating decisions on?
7. Would you rather have flawless skin with no makeup needed, or have every makeup product you could ever want but use it daily?
8. Would you rather always smell incredible without trying, or always look perfectly put together without trying?
9. Would you rather wear heels that never hurt, or trainers that always look chic?
10. Would you rather own every book you have ever loved in hardback, or have every album you have ever loved on vinyl?
11. Would you rather have a signature scent that becomes your identity, or switch perfume depending on your mood every day?
12. Would you rather your home look like a spread in an interiors magazine but be uncomfortable to live in, or be deeply cosy and lived-in but photograph terribly?

Round Three: Travel and Living

This is the round where someone reveals she has already bought a one-way ticket in her head. These questions split the romantics from the realists every single time.

1. Would you rather take one long trip abroad every year, or take four shorter weekend breaks to different places?
2. Would you rather live in the same city your whole life and know it inside out, or move somewhere new every three years?
3. Would you rather travel alone with total freedom, or always have a brilliant travel companion?
4. Would you rather have a guaranteed window seat on every flight, or priority boarding for life?
5. Would you rather stay in a beautiful boutique hotel in every city you visit, or always find a perfectly located apartment to rent?
6. Would you rather explore a new country’s food scene in depth, or its art and architecture?
7. Would you rather live somewhere with perfect weather year-round but no seasons, or live somewhere with dramatic seasons including proper winters?
8. Would you rather have a two-hour commute to a job and city you love, or a five-minute walk to a job in a place that bores you?

12. Would you rather have a pied-a-terre in your favourite city in the world, or a remote cabin you escape to whenever you need silence?

Round Four: Work and Ambition

The career round sounds serious but it produces the most surprising answers of the night. Find out who is secretly plotting a pivot and who is happier than anyone expected.

1. Would you rather be the best in the world at something niche, or broadly excellent at a wide range of things?
2. Would you rather work four long days a week, or five short ones?
3. Would you rather be your own boss with all the uncertainty that brings, or work for someone else with genuine stability and growth?
4. Would you rather earn significantly more money doing work you find dull, or earn enough doing work you actually care about?
5. Would you rather have a career that makes you famous in your field, or one that gives you complete anonymity and freedom?
6. Would you rather mentor someone and watch them surpass you, or be mentored by someone who shapes your entire trajectory?
7. Would you rather work entirely from home forever, or have an office you genuinely love going to?
8. Would you rather have a job that changes the world but pays modestly, or a job that changes nothing but funds everything you want outside of work?
9. Would you rather be promoted faster than you feel ready for, or stay in a role you have mastered until you ask for the next step yourself?
10. Would you rather build something from zero, or join an established team and make it significantly better?
11. Would you rather take a year off now with enough money to be comfortable, or take five years off in your sixties with more money but less energy?
12. Would you rather be known as brilliant but difficult, or warm and easy to work with but underestimated?

Round Five: Honest Preferences

This is where the gloves come off, gently. No one is getting in trouble but everyone will say something that surprises at least one other person in the room.

1. Would you rather always say exactly what you think, or always know exactly what everyone around you is thinking?
2. Would you rather have one best friend who knows everything about you, or a wide circle of good friends who each know a part of you?
3. Would you rather be the person everyone calls in a crisis, or the person everyone calls when something brilliant happens?
4. Would you rather remember every conversation you have ever had in perfect detail, or forget every awkward moment from your past entirely?
5. Would you rather always arrive early and wait, or always cut it fine and rush?
6. Would you rather be wildly confident in social situations but privately full of self-doubt, or privately secure but visibly awkward in groups?
7. Would you rather give advice that people actually take, or give advice that people ignore but always come back to later?
8. Would you rather know your life expectancy, or never know and just live it?
9. Would you rather be the person who plans every girls night, or the person who shows up and makes everything more fun?
10. Would you rather have a friendship that is intense and all-consuming for five years, or a quiet, steady one that lasts thirty?
11. Would you rather be the first of your friends to try something new, or wait and hear how it goes for someone else first?
12. Would you rather have the ability to read the room perfectly in any situation, or the confidence to not care about the room at all?

Round Six: The Last Round

The final twelve questions are the ones that stay with you. They are not heavier, just bigger: the kind of would you rather that keeps conversations going long after the cards are back in the box.

1. Would you rather know every answer to every question about the universe, or spend your whole life genuinely curious and never quite certain?
2. Would you rather age visibly but feel exactly as you do now physically for the rest of your life, or look the same as you do now but feel every year of your age?
3. Would you rather have the power to pause time for yourself only, or fast-forward through any situation you choose?
4. Would you rather live a life that makes a brilliant story, or a life that is quietly, deeply satisfying with nothing dramatic to report?
5. Would you rather be remembered for something creative you made, or for the way you made people feel?
6. Would you rather have more time or more energy?
7. Would you rather know that every decision you have made has led to the best possible outcome, or have the ability to go back and change one?
8. Would you rather spend a year living by someone else’s rules entirely, or spend it completely isolated making your own?
9. Would you rather be the kind of person who finds joy easily in small things, or the kind who holds out for things that are genuinely extraordinary?
10. Would you rather have already done the hardest thing you will ever face, or have it still ahead of you when you are stronger?
11. Would you rather leave the world slightly better than you found it in a way no one ever knows about, or leave it exactly the same but be remembered for it?
12. Would you rather look back at the end of your life and feel proud, or look back and feel that it was fun?

How to Keep It Moving and When to Stop

The best games end before anyone wants them to. If the room is still mid-debate on round four, stay there: the questions are a starting point, not a finish line. When a single question runs for twenty minutes and no one is checking their phone, that is a better result than completing all seventy-two.

A few things that keep the pace honest: set a loose rule that everyone must give their answer before the group reacts, because the first loud opinion tends to collapse the room into agreement and you lose the real data. If a question lands flat, skip it without ceremony. The deck is big enough that no one will miss one pair.

If someone wants to pass on a question, let them. The point of would you rather questions is that they feel low-pressure: the moment they feel like an obligation, the energy drops. Keep it moving, follow the tangents that actually catch fire, and call it when the conversation has found its own rhythm and no longer needs the cards at all. That is when you know the night worked.

For more games to stack with this one, the hen party games roundup and the truth or dare question bank both run on the same energy and extend the night without changing its mood.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players do you need for would you rather questions for girls night?

Anywhere from three to ten works well. Below three, some questions feel like a face-off. Above ten, rotate a talking stick or split into two groups playing in parallel.

Do you need to play all six rounds in order?

The order is designed to warm up gradually, so playing in sequence gives the best result the first time. After that, deal any round as a standalone game whenever you need ten minutes of entertainment.

How do you print and use the card sheets?

Print each A4 sheet on cardstock, cut along the printed lines and shuffle. Deal three cards to each player per round, or stack them face-down in the centre and draw one at a time. A home laminator and a binder ring keep the decks tidy for reuse.

Are these questions suitable for all ages?

The questions are written for adults and work best from about eighteen upward. For a younger group, rounds one and two are the safest place to start. For a strictly teen audience, check the kids-focused version of the game instead.

What if the room agrees on every question?

Skip it and move on. Agreement is fine but it kills the debate, which is where the fun lives. The bank is large enough that you will hit a divisive one within two or three questions.

Can you mix these cards with other party games?

Yes. Would you rather pairs work as a warm-up before a game of charades or truth or dare, or as a palate-cleanser between heavier rounds of any party game format.
