The ones that make everyone laugh, spark those "Oh yeah, totally me too!" moments, and bring back slightly shameful but hilarious memories. Perfect for lightening the mood if you don't all know each other super well, or just for having a good time with friends without taking yourselves too seriously.

Okay, enough talk, let's play! Here's a hefty dose of questions to get the (friendly!) hostilities started.
