How to play St. Patrick's Day would you rather

Read one question, everyone votes at once, and one person from each side gets 15 seconds to defend their pick. Eight to ten questions fill a 10-minute icebreaker; a meeting opener takes three or four. St. Patrick's Day is Wednesday, March 17, 2027, and every question below works that week whether or not someone celebrates.

Planning for 50 or more people? Chat votes get slow at that size. A host-run game from our virtual St. Patrick's Day party options splits everyone into small groups so each person still gets a turn.

How to run it in the office, hybrid or on Zoom

Four steps turn a list into a game. They work the same in a room or on a call.

  1. Pick a set for the room. Luck or green to wake people up, Ireland or spring for a calmer check-in, rapid fire to close. Put the question on screen or read it once.
  2. Everyone votes at the same time. Thumbs up for the first option, thumbs down for the second, on three. On video, hold the thumb up to the camera.
  3. Hear one case from each side. Fifteen seconds per defender, then a second vote. Anyone who switched says what changed their mind.
  4. Eight to ten questions fill ten minutes. Three or four make a meeting opener. The rapid-fire set takes about three minutes on its own.

  • In the office: put a strip of green tape down the middle of the room and have people step to the side they pick.
  • Hybrid: the room votes in the chat along with the remote side, so every vote counts the same, and a remote teammate always gets the first defense.
  • On a video call: share the picker above, have people vote with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down reaction, and unmute the first hand raised on each side.
  • In a team chat channel: post one question a day in the week of March 17 with two emoji to vote, and share the closest split on Friday.

St. Patrick's Day would you rather FAQ

What day of the week is St. Patrick's Day in 2027?

St. Patrick's Day is Wednesday, March 17, 2027. Teams play these questions in the meeting that day, at lunch, or on the Friday before.

What are good St. Patrick's Day would you rather questions?

Good ones give two choices anyone can picture, like “Would you rather follow a rainbow to see where it ends or stay put and watch it fade from your window?” or “Would you rather have perfect luck with printers or perfect luck with wifi for a whole year?” This page has 70 in six sets: luck, green, Ireland, spring, work and a rapid-fire this or that round.

Are these questions OK for people who don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

Yes. They are about luck, the color green, spring and travel, so anyone can answer, and none of them is about drinking. The Ireland set is about places and food, not stereotypes.

How do you run St. Patrick's Day would you rather on a video call?

Put the picker from this page on screen share and read each card aloud. People vote thumbs up for the first choice and thumbs down for the second, one defender per side gets 15 seconds, and the room votes again. Plan on eight to ten cards per 10 minutes.

Is there a hosted St. Patrick's Day game for remote teams?

Yes. A live host runs an hour of St. Patrick's Day games on Zoom, or Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request, in small groups that change every round. Hosted games book about 2 weeks ahead. See live prices on our virtual St. Patrick's Day party page or get a free quote.
