The Ultimate List of "Would You Rather" Questions for Families

Nothing sparks laughter faster than a great Would You Rather showdown. Whether you are cruising down the interstate or gathered for a cozy game night, these prompts help everyone share preferences, values, and silly imagination. Load them into MileSmile, switch on hands-free Car Mode, and let the steering wheel buttons keep the game rolling while the driver stays focused.

How to Play on the Go

  • Stay hands-free: Turn on Car Mode so MileSmile reads each question aloud and you control everything from the wheel.
  • Pick a vibe: Choose the category that matches your energy—silly, thoughtful, or travel-inspired.
  • Rotate storytellers: After each vote, ask one person to explain their choice for deeper conversation.
  • Keep score (or not): Use in-app polls for quick votes or simply enjoy the dialogue.
