Have you ever been to a place so remote it didn't have internet access?
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. Travel questions are bait for stories — every yes is a country, a disaster, or a person met by accident, and the answers tend to outlive the trip itself. The yes-or-no format is what makes it work — nobody has to volunteer a story, but once someone says yes the room always wants to hear it. That is why this question comes up again even in groups that have played before: the answer changes, the story changes, and the same question lands differently every time someone new is in the room.
