Would you rather

"Would you rather" is a conversation or party game that poses a dilemma in the form of a question beginning with "would you rather". The dilemma can be between two supposedly good options such as "Would you rather have the power of flight or the power of invisibility?", two attractive choices such as "Would you rather have money or have fame?", or two supposedly bad options such as "Would you rather sleep with your best friend's lover or your lover's best friend?" The players, sometimes including the questioner, then must choose their answers. Answering "neither" or "both" is against the rules. This leads the players to debate their rationales.

For the film, see Would You Rather (film).

Any number of players are invited to contribute to the game. One way to play is a drinking game, in which those who chose the unpopular option must drink. For example, if when asked "Would you rather sleep with your best friend's lover or your lover's best friend?", more people decide they would prefer to sleep with their best friend's lover than their lover's best friend, then all those that said they would rather sleep with their lover's best friend would then have to drink.[1]

The game is played on the podcasts Comedy Bang! Bang![2] and Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast,[3] the horror film Would You Rather,[4] the Disney Channel TV series Coop & Cami Ask the World, and the BBC America game show Would You Rather...? with Graham Norton.[5]
