Would You Rather questions tap into our natural curiosity and love for choice, making them an instant conversation starter. By presenting two intriguing scenarios, you encourage members to reflect on their own fishing experiences and compare them to others. This playful approach lowers barriers to participation, even for quieter members.
These prompts are effective because they require minimal effort to answer but often lead to deeper discussions and storytelling. Members get to share their reasoning, learn about each other’s fishing styles, and discover new perspectives in a relaxed, lighthearted way.
