They cover haunted places, creepy creatures, strange noises at night and how you'd make it through a spooky story. Everything stays spooky, never gory, so they suit sleepovers, campfires and teens who like a good chill.

How you compare
Vote on a few questions and your results show up here.
How to play
Turn the lights down and read each question by flashlight.
Have the reader pause for three seconds before the second option to build suspense.
After each vote, have players describe the first thing they'd do in the scene they picked.
At a campfire, read one question between each ghost story.
Let anyone skip a question that feels too creepy, and switch to the friendly-spooky creatures if the room gets tense.
Playing in a group? Read a question out loud, let everyone pick a side, then tap the one the room chose and see how it compares with everyone online.
Questions people ask
Are these scary would you rather questions okay for kids?
They're spooky but never gory, with no blood, injuries or violent scenes. Older kids and teens tend to enjoy them, and younger kids can start with the friendly-spooky ones, like helping a lost mummy find its way home.
What is a good scary would you rather question?
A good one makes both options creepy in different ways, like waking at 3 a.m. to someone whispering your name or to slow footsteps upstairs. It works best when players can picture the scene and feel a little shiver either way.
How do you play scary would you rather at a sleepover?
Dim the lights, take turns reading a question by flashlight, and have everyone vote at the same time. Ask each person what they'd do next in the scene they picked, and stop whenever someone has had enough.
