Questions about the questions
Is the question generator free?
Yes. Use the questions anywhere, copy them, print them or send them to friends. No account needed.
Do you save what I pick?
Not with your name on it. Sets are drawn in your browser, and a link you send holds only the questions in it. Like the rest of timeleft.com, we count which choices people make, without names or emails. If you play together, the room keeps the first names and answers only while you play, and deletes them when the game ends or after six hours.
How does play together work?
Open a room from any set and send the link. Everyone joins on their own phone, sees the same question and answers at the same time, and the whole group sees the answers. It's free and needs no account.
Who writes the questions?
The Timeleft team. We seat strangers together every week, so we care about what gets a table talking.
Do questions like these really help people connect?
Research says they do. In a 1997 study led by Arthur Aron, pairs of strangers who spent 45 minutes on questions that slowly got more personal felt closer than pairs who made small talk. In 2022, Michael Kardas, Amit Kumar and Nicholas Epley ran 12 experiments with more than 1,800 people and found that deep conversations with strangers felt less awkward and more connecting than people expected. That's why a set for any mood starts light and goes deeper.
Try them on new people
Every week Timeleft seats small groups of strangers for dinner, coffee or a walk, with conversation prompts built in.
