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

Work questions land reliably because everyone has the same archetypes — the difficult manager, the moment that nearly went wrong, the thing they still cannot believe they said out loud. 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. 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.
