Frequently Asked Questions
Are the questions too personal?
No, the default wheel uses light, low-stakes questions (e.g., "What is your favorite movie?") that won't make anyone uncomfortable.
Can I add work-specific questions?
Absolutely. You can edit the list to include things like "What is your favorite project you've worked on?"
How many questions should I use?
We recommend around 15-20 so the slices are easy to read on a projector.
Why "Tell Us a Fun Fact" Fails
When a meeting leader says "Let's go around the room and share a fun fact," the room instantly fills with dread. People panic trying to think of something interesting but not boastful. A Conversation Starter Wheel removes this panic. By assigning a specific question, the participant only has to answer, not invent the topic.
Best Types of Icebreaker Questions
- Low-Stakes Preferences: "Coffee or Tea?" or "Mountains or Beach?" (Safe for everyone).
- Mildly Controversial: "Is a hotdog a sandwich?" (Great for sparking loud, funny debates).
- Nostalgic: "What was your favorite cartoon growing up?" (Brings out positive emotions).
