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.

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.
