Party

Have you ever shotgunned a beer?

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. 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.

Discussion starters

  • Who in the group is most likely to have shotgunned a beer?

  • What is the worst hangover story you have?
  • What is the most you have ever lost in one night?
  • What was the last party you regretted leaving early?
