Open, not yes or no
"What was your best day this year?" gets more than "Did you have a good year?"

Random Question Generator
Out of things to say? Spin the wheel and get a question. This random question generator picks one at random, so you get a question nobody planned.
Use it for icebreakers, family dinners, long drives, team meetings or a quiet group of friends.
How to Use the Question Generator
- Press spin to get a question. The wheel holds 80, each with a short topic on the slice, and the winner box shows the question.
- Read it out. The person who spun answers first.
- Everyone else answers too. Passing is fine.
- Ask a follow-up like "why?" or "what happened next?" before you move on.
The best talks come from the follow-up, not the first answer.

How to Make Good Questions
Light before deep
Warm up with easy questions, then go further.
Specific beats vague
"What snack could you eat forever?" beats "What do you like?"
Kind and optional
Never force an answer.
Respect privacy
Skip money, health and family problems unless the group chooses to share.
Pair It With Other Games
Try Would You Rather for a lighter, choice-based round, or Never Have I Ever for stories. For a game with dares, play Truth or Dare.
