Best for couples or groups?

Both work, very differently. Couples get a long quiet conversation; groups get the gasp moments.

Why people ask this

Relationship questions always land because the honest answer is rarely the one people rehearsed on the way over. Relationship questions cut deeper than people expect because the honest answer is rarely the one rehearsed — and this question rewards honesty. What makes this format durable is that a no can be just as interesting as a yes. 'No, but I once…' or 'No, and here is why not' opens a conversation the question never directly asked for. The best sessions are ones where the follow-up runs longer than the question itself.
