House rules for funny questions
Funny questions work when everyone is laughing together, not at one person. If someone does not want to answer, let them pass. Skip anything about appearance, money or family problems, and keep the "about the group" questions light. The goal is a story you will all retell next week, not someone going home upset.
Turn it into a game
Pick ten favourites, guess how your best friend would answer, and see how many you get right. Or flip it: make a quiz about yourself and see which friend knows your answers best. That is exactly what Block or Not? does, with a scoreboard and a dramatic BLOCKED stamp for anyone who scores too low.
