Would You Rather questions work because they tap into curiosity and the natural desire to compare options. In a creative field like copywriting, these prompts encourage members to think outside the box and share their unique perspectives. By presenting two interesting scenarios, you invite everyone to participate, whether they are seasoned pros or newer members.
This format is non-threatening and lighthearted, which lowers barriers for engagement. It helps build community bonds as people explain their choices and discover shared opinions or funny differences. Plus, the simplicity of the question makes it easy for even the busiest members to jump in without overthinking.
