Would You Rather questions tap into our natural curiosity and love of playful challenges. By presenting two intriguing options, you invite members to imagine scenarios and explain their creative choices, which leads to deeper engagement and lively exchanges. This format is especially powerful in design communities, where members enjoy exploring possibilities and defending their design philosophies.
These prompts lower the barrier to participation by being easy to answer, yet they also encourage thoughtful discussion. When members explain their 'why,' it helps reveal their creative process, sparking further conversation and even friendly debate. This not only builds community culture but also provides valuable insights into members' preferences and design thinking.
