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. Party questions hit because the night-you-cannot-fully-remember story is the modern campfire tale, and every group has someone with a better one. 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.
