Is this about being a tech expert?

No — it is about how everyone uses tech badly. Less knowledgeable people often have the funniest answers.

Mostly — skip any dating-app questions for office events.

Good for cross-generational play?

Surprisingly yes — older players are usually more honest about their tech mistakes than younger ones.

Have you ever rage-quit a video game?

Why people ask this

Work questions land reliably because everyone has the same archetypes — the difficult manager, the moment that nearly went wrong, the thing they still cannot believe they said out loud. Tech and internet questions land because everyone has used something badly, sent a message they regret, or doomscrolled past their own bedtime this week. 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.
