Trivia is all fun and games until it gets personal! Or, some would argue, personal trivia games are even more fun! You can show off how much you know about your friends and family or get to know them even more intimately. For that purpose, what can be better than hilarious personal trivia questions designed specifically for your party?
We’ve compiled a list of fun trivia questions you can ask your favorite friends and family members. There are four categories: personal questions to check how well you know each other, would you rather questions to get some good laughs in, questions about hypothetical situations, and questions to make you think.
Change the “you” or “your” in each question with the name of the person you’re asking about. For example, you can ask your friend, “What’s my biggest fear?” and your sister can ask you, “How old was mom when she had her first kiss?” This way, the questions turn into a real trivia game with right and wrong answers. If you want to use the opportunity to get to know your friends and family better, keep the questions as they are and go around the room answering them. Don’t forget to explain your answers for an added layer of intimacy.
