Do you want to easily break the ice and get to know the people around you on a deeper, more significant level? Try asking a few of these conversation-starting "this or that" questions (for adults). It's a fun game that works like this: One person gives the group two options to choose from. Everyone else must make a answer honestly, selecting only one option.

Part of the point is to see what spontaneous conversations evolve out of the game. Below, we've listed some of our favorite questions to ask colleagues, friends, or family members during "this or that." We've also divided them up into categories to make the ones appropriate to your situation easy to find. Now, read on to get started!
