140+ suggestions for the 21 questions game. You're welcome (2024)

Ever wanted to get to know someone a bit more, but never been sure of the right thing to ask? Enter the 21 questions game.

We're using the word "game" loosely here as the 21 questions game essentially just involves asking your friend, family member or maybe crush, 21 very important questions that will allow you to dig deeper in your relationship and discover things you never knew about them. Like, er, how far would they make it in a horror movie? And what was their first impression of you (proceed with caution btw)?

To really get to know someone we've rounded up the best questions to ask someone, as well as the best questions to ask your crush, your new partner or some rather cheekier questions, if that's what you're after.

The 21 questions game is exactly what it says on the tin. There are no gimmicks or weird rules, you just have to ask someone 21 questions, in a bid to get to know them better. Questions can be deep, fun, flirty, silly. The full works!

It's a great conversation starter with someone you're not close with, or equally a way to deepen an existing relationship, with questions you would never usually ask.

It's super simple to play 21 questions. You just need at least two people (although feel free to ponder the questions yourself), and appropriate questions for the setting. So don't be asking your grandma the same questions as you do your crush!

That being said there are a few ways you can play 21 questions:

• Classic two people - If it's just two of you playing, it's usually fun to take it in turns, with one person asking a question, and the other answering. The person who answered can then ask the next question and so forth until you've asked 21 questions in total. With this version you can also both answer the same question before moving onto the next, or choose your own questions as you see fit.
• Classic group - If playing with more than two people, someone from the group will be selected at random and then the group will ask that individual 21 questions in a row. The next person to go can be randomly selected again.
• Ricochet - In a group setting, Person A must ask a question to any player in the group who becomes Person B. Once Person B has responded they must then ask Person C a different question, once they've answered they'll ask Person D a new question. The game continues until everyone has answered a question. You then go round again until the group has answered 21 questions.
• Round and round - Again this is played in a group. Person A asks the group a question and everyone in the group answers (usually in a circle formation) before moving onto the next question, until you get to 21 questions.
