How to play Get to Know Each Other
Get to Know Each Other is a drinking game with open-ended questions that help players get to know each other better. Players take turns drawing questions, and everyone answers — if you don't want to answer, you drink 2 sips instead.
Perfect for new friend groups, pre-parties or situations where people don't know each other very well yet.
Rules – step by step
- Sit in a circle and read the question from the screen aloud.
- Everyone answers the question, one at a time around the table.
- If you don't want to answer, drink 2 sips and skip.
- After everyone has answered, someone presses "Next" for a new question.
- The game ends when you've gone through all the questions, or when the atmosphere calls for it.
Frequently asked questions about Get to Know Each Other
What are the best get-to-know-you questions?
Questions about values, dreams and opinions create the best conversations. Examples: "What do you want to achieve in life?", "What fascinates you?", "If you could travel in time, where would you go?" Avoid overly personal questions at first.
What is the difference between Get to Know Each Other and Never Have I Ever?
Never Have I Ever is about specific things you have or haven't done. Get to Know Each Other focuses on opinions, values and personality — it leads to deeper and more meaningful conversations, especially for groups who don't know each other well.
Is Get to Know Each Other good for new groups?
Yes! Get to Know Each Other is specifically designed for people who don't know each other well. The questions are crafted to open up conversations and build mutual understanding without being too personal from the start.
How many players does the game work for?
Get to Know Each Other works with 2–12 players. With many players it naturally takes longer per question, but the game scales well.
Can you play without alcohol?
Absolutely! The game works perfectly without alcohol. Just skip the drinking rules and play it as a regular get-to-know-you game. Great for family dinners, team building or confirmation parties.
