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. Questions like this one get played across every kind of group on have.you — couples on a first date, coworkers at team events, friends on long drives. Each setting produces a different answer, which is part of why Have You Ever has stayed in circulation long after most party games get retired.
