Friendship questions

Catching up with a friend and running out of things to say is more common than people admit. This wheel holds a set of questions that lead somewhere, so you spend the time talking rather than searching for a topic.

Options on this wheel

When this wheel helps

  • A long overdue catch-up where small talk runs out fast
  • A call with someone you care about but rarely see
  • Getting to know newer friends beyond the basics
  • Any conversation you'd like to go deeper than the weather

Getting a useful answer

1

Take turns. It works better as a shared game than as an interview.

2

Answer honestly and in a little detail. The question is only as good as the answer it gets.

3

Skip anything that feels off for the moment. The point is a good conversation, not completing the wheel.

Questions about this wheel

Are these questions appropriate for anyone?

They're written to be safe and warm. Even so, use judgement with people you know less well and skip anything too personal for the moment.

Can I add my own questions?

Yes. Replace the entries with your own list. A wheel of questions you both care about will always beat a generic set.

Is it good for a group?

Yes, and it works well for three or four people. Spin, and everyone answers the same question in turn.
