Is this for skeptics or believers?

Both — many questions are framed as "have you experienced X" rather than "do you believe X", so skeptics still have plenty to answer.

Will it actually scare people?

Less than a horror movie, more than a true-crime podcast. The scariest part is usually someone else's answer.

Good for kids at a sleepover?

Older kids yes, younger kids be careful — some questions touch on death and break-ins.

Have you ever explored a cemetery after dark?

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. Scary questions get traction because everyone wants to know if their weird experience was unique or universal — usually it is more universal than they thought. 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.
