Thanksgiving is the one day of the year when everyone is gathered, the food is incredible, and nobody quite knows what to do between the second helping and the dessert.
That’s where Thanksgiving would you rather for couples comes in.
Whether you’re playing it at the dinner table, on the couch after the meal, or over a video call with a partner who’s celebrating from a different city — this game turns any Thanksgiving into something more than just a holiday. It turns it into a memory.
We’ve put together 100 Thanksgiving would you rather questions across every mood — funny, a little dirty, deep, romantic, and everything in between. Pick a category that fits your evening and let the game decide the rest.
No setup. No rules you need to memorize. Just two people, a great holiday, and the question that starts everything:
Would you rather…?
And if you love would you rather games, check out our full list of Would You Rather for Couples — 300+ questions that are romantic, flirty, deep, and everything in between.
How to Play Thanksgiving Would You Rather for Couples
The rules are simple — and that’s exactly what makes this the perfect Thanksgiving game. No setup, no equipment, no prep needed. Just two people and a willingness to be honest about some very important turkey related decisions.
The Basic Rules
One person reads a would you rather question out loud. Both people answer at the same time — on three, so nobody is influenced by the other person’s answer first. Then both people explain why they chose what they chose. The explanation is always more interesting than the answer itself.
How to Make It More Fun
Add a dare rule — if someone refuses to answer or can’t choose between the two options, they have to complete a Thanksgiving themed dare chosen by the other person.
Play at the dinner table — put the questions on cards or read them from your phone between courses. The Thanksgiving food themed ones work especially well between the main course and dessert.
Keep score — give a point every time your answers match. The couple with the most matching answers by the end of the night wins the title of Most Compatible Couple at the Table.
Play in rounds — start with the funny questions to warm everyone up, move to the deep ones when the mood is right, and save the dirty ones for after everyone else has gone home.
Go off script — use these 100 questions as a starting point but let the conversation go wherever it wants. The best Thanksgiving moments happen when you stop following the plan.
What You Need
Nothing except this list and good company. Play it on your phone, print it out, or just read the questions out loud between bites of pumpkin pie. That’s genuinely all it takes to make this Thanksgiving unforgettable.

Thanksgiving Would You Rather Printable
Want to take this game offline and make it a real Thanksgiving tradition? A thanksgiving would you rather printable is perfect for the dinner table, a couples game night, or a holiday party where you want everyone involved. Print it once and use it every Thanksgiving for years to come.
How to Print This Game
Step 1 — Choose Your Questions
Decide which sections you want to print based on your audience. For a family Thanksgiving dinner, stick to the funny and this or that sections. For a couples only evening, print the full list including the deep and dirty sections. Each section is clearly labeled so you know exactly what you’re printing before you hit the button.
Step 2 — Format Your Document
Copy the questions into a Word document or Google Doc. Use Arial or Times New Roman at size 12 for easy reading. Add a festive Thanksgiving border — falling leaves, pumpkins, or a simple orange and brown color scheme — to make it feel seasonal and special rather than just a printed list.
Step 3 — Choose Your Format
You have two options for how to present the game. Print the full list on one or two pages for the host to read from — or cut each question into individual strips, fold them, and put them in a decorative bowl or pumpkin for guests to draw from randomly throughout the meal.
Step 4 — Laminate for Reuse
If you want to use this game every Thanksgiving, laminate the printed sheets after cutting. A laminated set lasts for years, looks intentional and beautiful on the table, and becomes one of those Thanksgiving traditions your family actually looks forward to every single year.
Fun Ways to Use the Printable
As a Dinner Table Game — place one question card at each seat as a conversation starter before the meal even begins. Guests pick up their card, read it, and the table votes on the best answer together.
As a Couples Game Night Card Set — print the couples sections on card stock, cut them into individual cards, and keep them in a small box as a reusable couples game set you can pull out any time — not just Thanksgiving.
As a Hostess Gift — print and laminate a beautiful set of Thanksgiving would you rather cards and give them as a hostess gift to whoever is hosting this year. It’s thoughtful, practical, and something they’ll actually use at the table.
As a Holiday Tradition Starter — pick 10 questions from the list and commit to asking them every single Thanksgiving from now on. Over the years your answers will change, your relationship will grow, and looking back at how you answered the same questions differently each year becomes something genuinely priceless.
