Do I need to be sporty?

No — half the fun is non-athletes admitting they have never done the thing. Their stories often beat the gym rats.

Is it about pro sports?

No — questions are about personal experiences, not trivia. You do not need to follow any league.

Yes — works as a bonding round at the start of a season or after a big game.

Have you ever done a "mud run" or an obstacle course race?

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. Sport questions surface the worst-injury and quit-the-team stories that rarely come up unprompted — and the non-athletes in the room often deliver the funniest answers. 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.
