Snow and coldWould you rather get one huge snowstorm a year or a light dusting every week all winter?

Coworkers holding mugs sit in a circle by snowy office windows, laughing as two point across the group.

How to play winter 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. Every question is about the season, not a holiday, and all of them are safe to ask coworkers.

15 snow day would you rather questions

Cold-weather choices everyone can picture, even the teammates who have never shoveled a driveway.

  1. 1. Would you rather get one huge snowstorm a year or a light dusting every week all winter?

  3. 3. Would you rather build the biggest snow fort on the block or read by a frosty window all day?

  4. 4. Would you rather live somewhere with real winters or somewhere it never drops below 60 degrees?

  5. 5. Would you rather scrape ice off a windshield every morning or wait 15 minutes for a bus in the cold?

Want a host to run a winter game for your team?

Ten questions warm up a meeting. A live host runs the whole hour: winter games and trivia in small teams that change every round, scoring and music, with nothing for you to prep. It keeps a remote team of 15 or a 150-person kickoff on one Zoom call moving. Hosted games book about 2 weeks ahead; the hot chocolate kit workshop ships to every guest and books about 3 weeks ahead for US addresses.

Planning a January kickoff for 50 or more people? Chat votes get slow at that size, and a host-run game from our virtual winter games splits everyone into small teams so each person still gets a turn. Our kickoff meeting ideas cover the rest of the agenda.

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. Choose a set for the mood. Funny or snow days to wake up a Monday, cozy or work for a calmer check-in. Put the question on screen or read it once.
  2. Vote with your hands, not your voice. Left hand for the first option, right hand for the second, all at once. On video, hold the hand up to the camera.
  3. Hear the strongest case from each side. One person per side, 15 seconds. Then re-vote; anyone who switched explains what won them over.
  4. Keep it to ten minutes. Eight to ten questions fill it. For a January kickoff opener, three or four is plenty.
On a snowy day, coworkers at a meeting table and remote colleagues on a wall screen raise hands to vote.
  • In the office: one side of the room per option, and the side with fewer people picks the next question.
  • Hybrid: everyone votes in the meeting chat or a quick poll, people in the room too, so remote teammates count the same. Call on a remote person first.
  • On Zoom, Teams or Google Meet: share the picker above, vote with reactions and unmute one defender per side.
  • In a team chat channel: post one question each Monday morning in January with two emoji to vote, and share the closest split on Friday.

  4. 79. Would you rather try curling for the first time or try ice climbing?

  5. 80. Would you rather ride on a dog sled or in a horse-drawn sleigh?

  6. 81. Would you rather visit a winter festival full of ice sculptures or a hot spring surrounded by snow?

  7. 82. Would you rather fly somewhere warm the day after the first snow or stay home for the coziest week of the year?

  8. 83. Would you rather have a lift ticket for every mountain in the country or a free week at one favorite resort?

  9. 84. Would you rather go ice fishing for a day or snowshoe up a mountain?

  10. 85. Would you rather watch a hockey game from right against the glass or a ski jump from the bottom of the hill?

  11. 86. Would you rather take a train through snowy mountains or a road trip through them?

  12. 87. Would you rather spend a winter evening at an outdoor ice rink or an indoor climbing gym?

Winter would you rather FAQ

What are good winter would you rather questions?

Good ones give two cold-weather choices people can picture, like “Would you rather get one huge snowstorm a year or a light dusting every week all winter?” or “Would you rather live in a snow globe someone shakes once a day or an igloo with excellent wifi?” This page has 100 in seven sets: snow days, cozy nights, food, funny, work, travel and rapid fire.

Are these Christmas or holiday questions?

No. Every question is about the season, not a holiday, so they work from December through February for any team. For holiday ones, see our Christmas would you rather questions.

How do you play would you rather on Zoom or Teams?

Share the picker on this page, read the question, and have everyone vote with a reaction or by holding a hand up to the camera. Unmute one person from each side for a 15-second case, then re-vote. Eight to ten questions fill 10 minutes.

What are fun winter activities for a team meeting?

Would you rather, winter trivia and this or that rounds all work in ten minutes. For a full hour, a host can run a winter game show on Zoom, or a kit workshop like hot chocolate bomb making can ship supplies to every guest. See our virtual winter games for options with live prices.

Hosted games book about 2 weeks ahead. Kit workshops need about 3 weeks for US addresses, or about 5 with guests in Canada or abroad. Reserve online with a 50% deposit, or get a free quote and a full plan within 24 hours.
