How embarrassing does it actually get?

Cringe but never cruel. The questions are written to make the storyteller look human, not pathetic — there is a difference and we hold the line.

Does it work in a work setting?

Tread carefully. A few questions are work-safe but for office events the Team Bonding pack or the Icebreaker generator are better starting points.

Four to six — large enough that people compete for the worst story, small enough that everyone gets to tell theirs.

Why people ask this

Relationship questions always land because the honest answer is rarely the one people rehearsed on the way over. Cringe is a social currency, and this question pays out fast — the best answers are the ones the storyteller swore they would take to the grave. The yes-or-no format is what makes it work — nobody has to volunteer a story, but once someone says yes the room always wants to hear it. That is why this question comes up again even in groups that have played before: the answer changes, the story changes, and the same question lands differently every time someone new is in the room.
