Okay, let's be real. Sometimes you need a game that requires zero setup, zero props, and somehow still ends up being the highlight of the night. Enter "Would You Rather." It's a classic for a reason. Whether you're at pre-drinks, a chill house party, or even trying to make a long road trip less of a slog, a good set of would you rather questions for adults can turn any situation into a debate-filled laugh fest.
