Do I need to be into one specific fandom?

No — questions cover gaming, comics, sci-fi, anime, board games, tech, and general "I went deep on this" experiences. Something will land.

No. Questions reward enthusiasm regardless of whether you started yesterday or 20 years ago.

Best for solo or group?

Group, by a wide margin — the fun is comparing how niche your specific obsession is versus the room.

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. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
