Would you rather

Would you rather is a conversation and party game built around posing dilemmas that begin with the phrase that gives the game its name, forcing a chosen player to pick between two stated options rather than avoid the question. The choices offered can pit two appealing options against each other, such as the ability to fly against the ability to turn invisible, weigh unequal but each individually attractive rewards such as money against fame, or present two genuinely unpleasant outcomes that force a player to choose the lesser of two evils. The core rule is that a player must commit to one answer: replying neither or both is treated as breaking the format, and the resulting justification or debate over why one option was chosen is often the real point of the exchange rather than the choice itself. The format has spread well beyond casual party use into popular media, appearing in podcasts such as Comedy Bang! Bang! and Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, the horror film Would You Rather, Disney Channel's Coop & Cami Ask the World, BBC America's Would You Rather...? with Graham Norton, and as a recurring bit in the animated series Family Guy.
