Questions to ask

Best friend questions: 105 fun, deep and “how well do you know me” questions

Questions to ask your best friend on a call, at a sleepover or in a group chat, sorted from easy to meaningful. Pick a few, or turn ten of them into a quiz.

Published October 21, 2026 · Best Friend Game

Good best friend questions do two jobs. Some are just fun and get everyone laughing. Others help you find out something new about a person you thought you already knew. This list has both: 105 questions in six groups, from silly would-you-rather choices to deeper questions for a quiet evening.

How to use these questions

For a chat or call: take turns picking one question from each group. Answer it yourself after your friend does.
As a guessing game: write your own answer first, then let your friend guess it. One point for every match.
For a group: one person is in the spotlight per round while everyone else guesses. The friend group quiz guide has rules and a scorecard.
Far apart? Send one question a day, or use the long-distance call plan.

Fun questions to ask your best friend

Light, quick questions that work in a group chat or on a long car ride. Nobody needs a deep answer, but they usually lead to a story.

What is the most useless talent you have?
Which emoji do you use far too often?
If you had to eat one snack for a month, what would it be?
What song do you secretly know every word of?
Which fictional character would you happily swap lives with for a week?
What is the weirdest thing you have ever searched online?
If your life had a theme tune, what would it be?
What would your reality-TV show be called?
Which app would you delete last?
What is the worst haircut you have ever had?
If you could only wear one colour forever, which one?

Which animal do you think I would be, and why?
What is the most embarrassing thing in your camera roll right now?
What is a food combination you love that everyone else finds strange?

What is the pettiest thing that still annoys you?
Which decade would you live in if you could pick?

Favourites and everyday habits

These are the questions that best friends are expected to know. They make a good warm-up before the harder rounds.

What is your favourite food when you are tired?
What is your comfort film or series?
What is your usual coffee, tea or drink order?
Which season do you like best?
What do you always order at our favourite place?
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
What is your favourite way to spend a free Sunday?
What is your dream holiday destination?
Which sport or game do you actually enjoy watching?
What is your favourite smell?
Which book or comic did you love as a kid?
What is the first thing you do when you wake up?
What is your favourite dessert?
Do you prefer calls, voice notes or texts?
What is your favourite subject at school, or the one you miss most?

Would you rather questions for best friends

Quick choices that reveal a lot. Ask your friend to guess your answer first, then compare.

Would you rather travel to the past or to the future?
Would you rather give up music or give up films?
Would you rather be famous online or rich and unknown?
Would you rather live by the beach or in the mountains?
Would you rather always be ten minutes early or ten minutes late?
Would you rather read minds or be invisible?
Would you rather have a pet dog or a pet cat?
Would you rather lose your phone or your wallet for a day?
Would you rather sing in public or dance in public?
Would you rather never eat pizza again or never eat chocolate again?
Would you rather spend a day with your favourite celebrity or with your childhood self?
Would you rather plan every detail of a trip or just turn up?
Would you rather be able to talk to animals or speak every language?
Would you rather have a quiet night in or a loud night out?
Would you rather work from a café or from your bed?
Would you rather know how every film ends or never get spoilers?
Would you rather go camping or stay in a fancy hotel?
Would you rather win an argument or keep the peace?
Would you rather relive your best day or skip your worst one?
Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button for life?

Tip: would-you-rather questions make great guessing rounds because there are only two options. If your friend gets fewer than half right, ask them to explain their guesses. That is usually the best part.

Deep questions to ask your best friend

Save these for a calm moment, not a busy group chat. Let your friend skip any question, and share your own answer too.

What is something you are proud of that you rarely talk about?
When did you feel most like yourself this year?
What is a fear you have got better at handling?
What does a perfect friendship look like to you?
What is one thing you wish people understood about you?
Which moment in our friendship do you think about most?
What is a belief you have changed your mind about?
What makes you feel looked after when you are stressed?
Is there a goal you have not told many people about?
What do you think I am better at than I give myself credit for?
What did you need more of when you were younger?
What is the kindest thing a stranger has done for you?
How do you like to be cheered up: space, jokes or a long talk?
What is something small that instantly improves your day?
If you could tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?
What does home mean to you?
What is a habit you want to start, and what is stopping you?
Who has influenced you the most, apart from family?
What is a tradition you would like us to start?
Where do you hope we both are in five years?

Go gently. Deep questions work best when both people answer and either person can pass. If a question brings up something hard, it is fine to stop the game and just talk, or to change the subject. For structured conversation prompts without any scoring, try the friendship check-in.

Questions about your friendship and shared memories

These reward the friends who were there. Agree beforehand whether close answers count.

Tips for a better game

Mix difficulty. Start with favourites so newer friends can score, then add memories for the friends who have known you longest.
Decide on close answers. Does “pasta” match “spaghetti”? Agree before you start, not after.
Do not change your answers. Write them down first so nobody can accuse you of moving the goalposts.
Keep it kind. A low score is a reason to talk, not proof of a bad friendship. Preferences change and some questions are honestly hard.
Share thoughtfully. Avoid questions that ask for private information such as addresses, passwords or anything you would not want forwarded.

Have a question about how scores or quiz links work? The help page explains sharing, returning to your quiz and your data. You can also read how the BFF test works, or see what thousands of players got right and wrong in our Friendship Report 2026.
