What's the best ice breaker question you ever used/come across?

i'm here just to thank you for this discussion thread!

I would be really interested in anything that has to do with food.

Interesting question! Meetings are always a bit of a hassle for me. I usually kick things off by talking about the latest news or the weather. Got any tips to help me loosen up and make meetings more fun?

What’s the best trip you’ve taken and why? -it can spark interesting conversations about different destinations, experiences, and cultural insights. It can also reveal a lot about a person's interests, values, and personality, and provide common ground for future conversations.

Love this discussion post! I really like the question "what's your favorite music you are listening to?" I learned this from @jlyon as he used this question as an ice breaker when scheduling Calendly meetings with him.

Recently, I came across a great question: 👉🏻 What have you done that nobody else in the room has done? If someone raises their hand and says they have done it, you have to come up with another one. --- The benefit of this question is that many people tend to share their unique achievements, which helps others quickly get to know them. Every time we ask this question, many people can't resist sharing multiple things.

I do love a good would you rather question - my personal favourite being “Would you rather you rather fight 100 duck sized horse or one horse sized duck?” always sparks a bit of laughter and debate in my experience

A few years ago I attended a conference and one company (Equal Experts) was handing out Icebreaker cards as swag (You can read the story here https://www.equalexperts.com/blo... ), so I have a full deck of them. One of my favorites is "You can go back in time. Which year do you choose?". You can learn a lot about a person's personality and interests with this question.

1.What is your super power? It just makes someone at great ease to talk about their greatest quality and why they think it's important for them? 2. If you don't have to earn money what else you would like to do? Ask this question and see how people reveal their passion about something they always wanted to do.

Ask for opinions and the topic to think of asking should be very generic and easy. A question like "Do you think Ai helping kids do their Homework is a good practice?" There is also a super awesome video on this ()
