Put a Finger Down: 100+ Questions for Friends

April 28, 2025

Let's be real, some games are just made for playing with friends. And "Put a Finger Down" is definitely at the top of that list. It's the perfect thing to kick off a party, liven up a long drive, or just kill time telling stupid stories. The concept is still super simple: 10 fingers up, someone reads a "Put a finger down if..." sentence, and if it applies to you, you put one down.

What's awesome about playing with friends is that you can go a little further, ask questions that hit on your inside jokes, your shared struggles, those little secrets only your crew knows. It's a chance to bring up good (and maybe not-so-good) memories, gently roast each other, and make that bond you share even stronger.

Get ready to spill the tea (and maybe grab some tissues for the laughing fits), here's a whole bunch of questions made just for you and your squad!
