Tips for extra fun:

Embrace the absurd: The more nonsensical the question, the funnier the potential answers.
Follow-up questions: Don't just move on after an answer. Dig deeper! Ask "why?" or ask for elaboration to get even more hilarious details.
Make it a game: Turn it into conversational trivia with points awarded for the best, funniest, or most thoughtful answers.
Add some icebreakers, such as asking how they feel about you using a surveying platform first for convenience.
Keep it lighthearted, playful, and be genuinely interested in the answers. The goal is to spark laughter, discover new quirks, and form stronger connections. Ready to ditch boring conversations for good? Let me know what your favorite random questions are!
