💡 By the way: that's exactly why we built the SwigSki3000® — four people, one ski, one shot in sync. More on that below ↓

Truth or Drink Questions About Personality and Character

These questions work in almost any group, because they're personal without being invasive:

1. What was the bravest moment of your life — the one fewest people know about?
2. Which person shaped you the most without ever knowing it?
3. What about yourself still surprises you sometimes?
4. If you could change three things about yourself — what would they be?
5. What's the biggest lie you tell yourself?
6. What was the last thing that made you truly proud of yourself?
7. Looking back, which decision from the last two years turned out to be the best?

Practical side effect: because the SwigSki3000® is made of four individually removable modules, it goes straight into the dishwasher after the round — not into the corner.

Questions About Relationships

Only for groups who already know each other — these questions spark either real conversation or some very good laughs:

8. Who do you still owe an apology you've never given?
9. What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you while flirting?
10. Which quality do you look for first in a person — and do you sometimes lie to yourself about it?
11. What was your worst date so far — describe it in one sentence?
12. Is there someone you still can't decide whether you like or not?
13. What would an ex say about you if they were sitting here right now?

Questions About Embarrassing Moments

The classic category — always works, because everyone's had an embarrassing moment:

14. What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you in front of someone you wanted to impress?
15. Have you ever called someone by the wrong name — and for how long did you keep doing it?
16. What lie once spiraled out of control so fast that you forgot what the truth even was?
17. What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten — voluntarily?
18. When was the last time you really tripped in public — not just a little stumble?
19. What's the most embarrassing nickname you've ever had — and who came up with it?

Practical side effect: because the SwigSki3000® is made of four individually removable modules, it goes straight into the dishwasher after the round — not into the corner.

Deep Truth Questions for Late-Night Rounds

These questions fit the second hour, once the group has already opened up:

20. What's the one thing you haven't done yet in your life but know you should?
21. Which expectation other people have of you do you actually resent living up to?
22. What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
23. Which belief from your teenage years do you no longer believe today?
24. What means more to you now than it did five years ago?
25. Who in this group do you respect the most — and why?

Fun and Easy Questions to Break the Ice

Perfect as a warm-up — they get laughs without requiring deep thought:

26. What's your most embarrassing favorite song that you secretly listen to?
27. What's the strangest thing you've ever googled?
28. Who did you last stalk — on Instagram, not in real life?
29. What's the first thing you do when you're home alone?
30. Which movie or show have you watched more than three times?
31. What's the dumbest thing you've ever done because of peer pressure?
32. Have you ever ordered food and then pretended you cooked it yourself?

As the group grows, the Shotski simply grows with it thanks to the extension set — four modules are the base, and each extra pair adds two more seats.
