How well do you know me? 110 questions
Questions // Friends and couples
Questions for friends, couples, family and the team at work, a set for kids to ask their grown-ups, and a hard set for people who think they have it sorted.
How well do you know me? It sounds like an easy question until someone asks what your best friend would grab first in a fire drill, or what your partner orders when the waiter is standing right there. Then the room splits into people who know and people who guess with total confidence.
Here are 110 how well do you know me questions we wrote ourselves, in six sets: friends, couples, family, the team at work, kids asking their grown-ups, and a hard set for people who think they have it sorted. Every question is about the person in the hot seat, so the answers are theirs to give.
