Would You Rather...? takes the idea of parlor game questions to a new level of debate and lunacy. It's a chunky book of 400 questions that range from the heinous to the nauseating to the downright disturbing, each a field-tested conversation starter-because no matter how strange or far-fetched, Would You Rather...? knows that choice provokes thinking, and thinking is fun.

Some questions, like a Rorschach test, reveal values: Would you rather . . . Age only from the neck up-OR-age only from the neck down? Be stupid and rich-OR-smart and poor? Some delight in their own grossness: Eat three earthworms-OR-wear a necklace made of them on your wedding day? Be trapped in an elevator with wet dogs-OR-three fat men with bad breath? Some churn up prejudices: Lose your mate to the same sex as yourself-OR-the opposite sex? Some create that squirming sensation: Get a bad case of poison ivy way up inside your nose-OR-inside your inner ear? Or ethical dilemmas: Be president of a firm that poaches endangered species-OR-work for a corrupt politician? And some are just deliciously absurd: Catch a porcupine thrown from a second-story window-OR-a skunk thrown from the same window? Each question is followed up with related, often off-the-wall information, from odd trivia to dumb jokes to the occasional practical advice (go for the skunk--the porcupine's got 30,000 quills, while tomato juice will take away the skunk smell).

Not "Family Friendly"

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

The "Would You Rather" style of books are a fun way to break the ice with some groups. This particular volume is definitely not suited for all ages though. I wanted to use this with a Jr High classroom, but it is more crude than the description or cover lets on. The cover description makes you think there will be some juvenile gross out humor (booger/fart/toenail sorts of things). Yet the jokes end up being about erections, sex toys, and impotence. Nothing about this product lets you know that it is adult themed until you buy it. Call me a prude, but I'm giving it one star.

Good overall, had to censor some pages

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2017

I'll be honest--I didn't read the description completely before purchasing for my 8 year old son, oops! I mean, there's even a "warning" on the front of the book, lol...

My child isn't sheltered by any means, but there were some questions about genetalia, intercourse, and the F bomb that I didn't care to explain, lol... so after he read some of these and didn't understand them, we went through the book and censored a few pages (ripped them out and created a R-rated version to go with our cards against humanity, lol).

It is great to keep in the car, which is why we purchased in the first place--for a long car trip. It's even helped us to become more creative in making our own questions too!

Book is very inappropriate!

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I don't normally write reviews but this book was not what I was expecting. I bought this for my 11 year old sons birthday and was embarrassed when I found out I bought him what I consider to be an "R" rated book. Unfortunately the book just said its for ages 8 and up and I didn't read any of the reviews or I would have known it was not appropriate for children. Luckily, I have a very excellent son who recognized that this book was not appropriate. He brought it to me on the 1st thing he encountered that was not appropriate. I'm very happy to have such a righteous son and am very proud of him and his character!

Fun for road trips

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2017

Bought as a gift for a friend, but had to read it first. Offers crazy dilemmas that often end up being interesting conversation starters. Some of them are really gross or funny. Probably not for people who are easily offended or don't have a sense of humor.

Not for 8 and up. It should be rated for a higher age

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought these for my girls and it says 8 and up.... if your raising your kids to be innocent there’s pages you should rip out. There’s some pages about masterbating, strip tease, walking in with your parents having sex, etc . I wouldn’t recommend it for kids 8 and up.

Great game for 18+

I like the book format better than the card game. I don’t have to worry about keeping it altogether. It features fun little anecdotes regarding the questions. If you’re looking for something family friendly, they have, “Gotta be Kidding”. Same concept as this book.

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my daughter after her school bus friend was reading from it on the bus, and thinking it was kid appropriate. It is not. Not every passage is inappropriate, but some are. I ended up taking a black marker to some scenario's because they talked about sex, anatomy, gore, or other no-so-family-friendly topics.
