Have you ever cosplayed as a character from a movie, book, or game?

Why people ask this

This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. Niche obsessions are usually masked in public; this question is one of the few permission slips to admit how deep the rabbit hole actually goes. On have.you, this question draws players from every kind of setting — parties, road trips, dinners, late-night calls — which is why the same question reads differently every time. The interesting part is rarely the answer itself; it is the follow-up, the story behind the yes, or the surprised reaction when someone answers the opposite of what everyone expected.
