Getting to know someone new is both exhilarating and scary at the same time. So here’s a little game to make the process less scary and a whole lot more fun! These 21 questions will not only work as a lovely ice breaker when there’s a lull in the conversation but will also help you learn more about him. This is a great question to ask if you are an animal lover yourself. You will get to know if the guy is interested in dogs or cats (or reptiles!) as much as you are and if things go great, you can have fun walking your little loved ones in the park together. The 21 Questions Game is basically a way of getting to know someone better. At its core the the game is just asking and answering questions. So if you want to simply ask and answer the questions below, that works. But if you would like to gamify the questions, below are some different ways to play the 21 Questions Game. Sit in a circle (or face to face if it’s just two people). Person A chooses a question, the person to the right of person A answers the question, then the next person in line answers, and so on until it gets back to Person A.
Don’t worry if the 21 Questions Game breaks down into a conversation. That is the whole point of the 21 Questions Game is to facilitate conversation and find out new things about a person. So if a lively conversation gets going, don’t worry about getting back to the game. You can always start up again after the conversation dies down.
