How to play Would You Rather

Party rules: read a dilemma out loud. On three, everyone points left or right (or shouts A or B). The minority takes the forfeit. Ties mean everyone takes it, obviously.

The real rule: you must choose. "Neither" costs a double. The follow-up interrogation of whoever voted weird is the actual game.

This guide explains the traditional game as it is played offline. The Antics app, for iPhone and Android, is a party-only app built on forfeits and contains no drinking instructions.

TIER 1: PHONES & SHAME Would you rather…

  1. Have your search history projected at your next party, or have your DMs printed and handed to your parents?

Making it a forfeit game

The voting mechanic is what turns a car-journey game into a party game: everyone commits publicly, the minority pays, and the room immediately demands justifications. Offline it is often played with drinks; the better stake is a forfeit, and we keep 60+ forfeit ideas for exactly this. Same arguments, no hangover.

Would You Rather FAQ

What if the Would You Rather vote is a tie?

Everyone takes the forfeit. It's the only fair outcome and the game gets better if ties feel dangerous.

Completely: the minority takes a forfeit. The game is the choices and the arguments.
