Want to get to know your friends, acquaintances, and crushes better with a fast-paced game of “Hot Seat”? You’ll need a wide variety of intriguing and goofy questions to amp up your game, and that’s why we’re here to help. Read on! In this article, we’ve compiled a thorough collection of Hot Seat questions covering everything from easy warm-up topics to laugh-out-loud queries for the whole friend group to enjoy.
Things You Should Know
- Play Hot Seat by selecting 1 player to sit in a chair and setting a timer for 5 minutes. Other players must ask the main player a series of rapid-fire questions.
- After 5 minutes is up, it’s another player’s turn to sit in the “hot seat” and answer a new set of questions.
- Continue until everyone in the group has had a turn. This is a non-competitive game; it’s all about having fun and opening up to friends.
- Players can pass on questions they don’t feel comfortable answering. Try setting boundaries before you play, so everyone knows which topics to avoid.
