Interview Questions

With the holidays quickly approaching, many of us will be coming together for festive celebrations. Whether it’s a partner’s company party or dinner with your family, too many of these gatherings won’t include anything more than pleasantries. Or worse, they’ll devolve into dicey territory.

To help spark fun conversations, we’ve collected a wide selection of fun (and funny) prompts guaranteed to get people talking. Whether you use them all or just a few, they’re sure to elicit some laughs and maybe even bring folks closer together. That’s what the holiday season is about after all – coming together and making memories with your nearest and dearest.
