However, there is such a thing as trying to be funny and coming off too corny, which can kill the mood quicker than a ray of light. This can make the person you’re talking to feel immediately comfortable, which opens up the lines of communication pretty quickly. One of the best ways to break the ice is to bring a little humor to the table from the jump. There’s a solution to that problem that will help you break the ice in a way that puts everyone at ease: humor. Just like the difficulty of starting up a conversation, keeping it going can be equally as challenging.

Sometimes even a good opening line can fall through, leaving you shuffling through a list of “yeah” and “umm” and scrambling for the next words, which doesn’t leave your company or crush very impressed. One particular question sparked such funny responses that the person reading them aloud became completely incomprehensible for a while since she was laughing so hard.Starting conversations can be hard, especially with someone you don’t know very well. But most of the questions do get at least a little personal, and we got some very entertaining answers. Some questions don't reveal quite as much personal detail, particularly ones that can take one-word answers (e.g., 'What car is too obnoxious to drive?' turned up 'Hummer' three times and 'Hummer H2' once.).

Take a question like: 'If you went to a psychiatrist, what would they say you suffer from?' It's not only fun to hear what everyone's answers are, but it's extremely entertaining to watch one person trying to match the various answers to the people, because it says a lot about how well they know everyone. We threw them all together to see what would happen, and the results were pretty entertaining. So there were some people who knew each other extremely well, and others who were meeting for the first time. We had a mixed group: some family members of the bride or groom, significant others and spouses, college or high school friends. We did have a die to roll just to randomize which questions got asked, but the real fun was the questions and answers. And you know what? It worked really well even without the score-keeping. Since I was traveling for a wedding, I actually ditched the board and game box and just took along the cards. It's all about the cards, so in essence it's an extremely simple idea. The game ends when a player reaches the WIN! space and correctly guesses at least three answers.Īs with games like Pictionary or Balderdash or Trivial Pursuit, Loaded Questions isn't really about the board or the die or the new custom pieces, as nice as those are. You try to guess who wrote which answer, and you get to move an additional space for each correct guess. (The types of questions are Hypotheticals, No-Brainers, Anything Goes, and Personals.) All the other players write down their answers, and one person reads them out loud to you. The game is fairly simple: roll the die, move along the path, and then ask the question corresponding the type of space you land on. I took the game for a spin this past week. However, it's also an interesting way to get to know people. The game is billed as a test of how well you know your friends, and as such it's definitely a game that works best with people you know well. GeekDad received a copy of the new 'Black Edition' of the game Loaded Questions for review.
