How to Play the 21 Questions Game
Playing 21 questions is super simple and straightforward. You can play with two or more people. I If you're playing with two people, you and the other person take turns answering questions. You can also modify this by having one person answer several questions in a row (or all 21 questions) before reversing roles and having the other person answer questions.
If you're playing in a group, the first player can choose a question and then the group can go around one by one and answer that question (with the person who asked the question going last). After everyone answers, the next player chooses a question and everyone answers again, and so on.
You can set rules that allow each player to skip a turn (or multiple turns) if they don't feel comfortable with the question— or you can play in hard mode and make it mandatory to answer every single question.
Now, onto the list of questions! Ahead, you'll find more than 21 questions (gotta account for those potential skips), including additional flirty questions that are perfect if you happen to be playing with a crush.
