Have you ever felt like you were being watched when you were completely alone?
Why people ask this
Questions about what people do when no one is watching tend to get the most honest answers of any game. 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. 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.
