Have you ever owned a replica prop, like a lightsaber or a sonic screwdriver?
Why people ask this
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 is part of a category played by people across every kind of setting — parties, road trips, dinners, late-night calls — which is why the same question reads differently in every group. The interesting part is rarely the answer itself; it is the follow-up, the story behind the yes, or the surprised reaction when somebody answers the opposite way. That is what keeps Have You Ever questions in rotation long after most party games get retired.
Discussion starters
- → What fandom do you keep quiet about in public?
- → What is the most you have spent on something nobody else in your life understands?
- → What hobby has earned you the most "are you okay?" looks?
- → What is your hottest take in your favourite franchise?
- → What did you collect obsessively as a kid?
This fun Geeky & Niche question invites you to explore your inner collector and fanboy or fangirl by sharing whether you've ever owned a replica prop, such as a lightsaber or a sonic screwdriver. It's a playful way to reveal your passions and geeky pride.
