Frequently asked questions

What are good questions to ask your best friend?

The best ones mix light and deep: funny memories, honest hot takes, hypotheticals, and a few meaningful questions about fears and dreams. Variety keeps the conversation flowing and helps you learn something new instead of repeating the usual small talk.

How do you turn these into a game?

Pick a question, have one friend answer it privately, and let the other guess what they said. Score a point for every match. The WKYB app does this automatically with hidden answers and a final match percentage.

What questions actually deepen a friendship?

Questions about fears, proud moments, what makes someone feel understood, and how the friendship has changed tend to open people up. They invite real stories instead of one-word answers, which is where real connection happens.

Are these questions good for new friends too?

Yes. Start with the getting-started and funny sections to keep things easy and low pressure, then move into deeper or juicier ones once you both feel comfortable. There is no rush to get personal.

How many questions should you ask in one sitting?

Around fifteen to twenty is a sweet spot. It is enough to go beyond surface level without it feeling like an interview. If you are playing it as a guessing game, agree on a number first so scoring stays fair.
