Good would you rather questions for a rainy day are about what the two of you do when you're stuck inside: rained-out plans, slow afternoons, restless moods and a little romance. The 40 below are grouped that way, and each comes with a follow-up and a short line on what your pick says about you.

40 dilemmas, each with a follow-up · Updated November 12, 2026
A rainy day at home can go cozy or stir-crazy, and these dilemmas work for both. They're about the plans you just lost, how you spend a slow afternoon together, and what to do with restless energy. Many double as ideas for the day: if you both pick the same side, go and do it.
- Read one out loud, both pick, then each say why before you look at the follow-up.
- When you both pick the same side, make it the plan for the next hour.
- Save the romance round for the evening, when the rain is just background.

A round of would you rather helps you choose, because any dilemma you both answer the same way can become the next thing you do.
