Pick the right type of question
| Category | Use it for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Icebreakers | New groups, first meetings, events | If you had a free afternoon tomorrow, how would you spend it? |
| Deep | Friends, family dinners, one-on-ones | What is a lesson you learned the hard way? |
| Funny | Parties, road trips, lightening the mood | If socks could talk, what would they complain about? |
| Work-friendly | Team meetings, onboarding, video calls | What is a small habit that makes you more productive? |
| For kids | Classrooms, morning circle, family time | What would your dream treehouse have inside? |
How long does a question round take?
A quick rule: allow about 45 seconds per person for a light question and 1 to 2 minutes for a deep one. So a team of 8 answering one icebreaker needs roughly 8 × 45 s = 6 minutes, while a family of 4 sharing a deep question needs about 4 to 8 minutes.
| Group size | 1 light question | 1 deep question |
|---|---|---|
| 4 people | about 3 min | 4–8 min |
| 8 people | about 6 min | 8–16 min |
| 12 people | about 9 min | 12–24 min |
| 20 people | about 15 min (try breakout groups) | split into groups of 4–5 |
Tips for better conversations
- Go first. Answer the question yourself to show the kind of answer you're hoping for.
- Allow a pass. Anyone can skip a question, which keeps the mood relaxed.
- Ask one follow-up. “What happened next?” or “Why that one?” turns a short answer into a story.
- Match the room. Start with icebreakers or funny questions, and save deep questions for groups that already know each other.
Frequently asked questions
What are good conversation starters?
Good starters are open-ended, easy to answer and invite a short story, like “What is a small thing that always makes your day better?”. Avoid yes/no questions and anything too personal for the setting. The Icebreakers category is a safe start for almost any group.
Which questions work for team meetings?
Use the Work-friendly category. Its questions are about tools, habits, projects and favorite snacks, so everyone can answer without sharing anything private. Many teams use one question at the start of a weekly meeting.
Are the questions suitable for kids?
Yes. Every question is clean, and the For kids category is written especially for children, with prompts about animals, toys, superpowers and silly inventions that work well in classrooms.
Will I see the same question twice?
Not until you've seen them all. Each category is a shuffled deck, and the counter shows how many new questions are left. When it runs out, the deck reshuffles and a note tells you.
Where are my favorites saved?
In your browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is uploaded. Download them as a .txt file if you want to keep them elsewhere or share them.
How many questions should I use in a meeting?
One or two is plenty for a regular meeting: allow about 30 to 60 seconds per person per question. For a workshop or the first day of class, a list of five gives you a few options to choose from.
