Why This Works

Would You Rather questions tap into the human love for choice and imagination. By presenting two intriguing scenarios, these prompts invite members to reflect and share their unique perspectives. This naturally breaks the ice and fosters a sense of belonging, as everyone gets to weigh in on fun, low-pressure dilemmas.

In the context of laser cutting, these questions encourage members to think outside the box about their craft, tools, and creative preferences. By making the scenarios relatable but novel, you invite discussion from everyone, whether they are seasoned pros or curious newcomers. This approach not only boosts engagement but also helps members learn from each other's experiences and creativity.
