Add pictures of people, pets or things. Each photo takes its file's name (ava.jpg becomes "Ava") and appears in every game. Photos stay on this device and are not in share links.

    Tip: start a name with an emoji, like ๐Ÿ• Pizza, for a picture without a photo.

      Ways to use this list

      • Dinner with guests who have just met: draw a question for the whole table and go round, so nobody has to think of something to say.
      • Journaling: draw one Make you think question each evening and write for five minutes without stopping.
      • Quiz breaks: press Quiz with answers, read out the question, and reveal the answer after the dash once everyone has guessed.
      • English speaking practice: learners draw a question, think for 30 seconds, then answer for one full minute without notes.
      • Live streams: draw a question on screen and answer it while chat argues about their own answers.

      Press Draw a card, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a wheel, duck race, hat and more.

      Questions people ask

      Do you have question lists for couples, friends or kids?

      Yes. Try the questions for couples, questions for friends and questions for kids pages, each written for that group.

      Can I get random questions with answers?

      Press Quiz with answers for general knowledge questions with the answer after a dash. Cover the end of the card with your hand, or read it out yourself and reveal the answer once everyone has had a guess.

      What makes a good random question?

      Anyone can answer it, it has no wrong answer and it invites a story rather than a yes or no. "What is the best smell in the world?" works because everyone has one and the reasons are always personal.

      Can I draw several questions at once?

      Set Winners in Settings to the number you need, say five for a quick round, and the card draw deals that many at once. No repeats until everyone is picked is on from the start, so the next round brings fresh cards.
