Think Alike prompts — say what everyone else says
Prompts for the game where being obvious wins.
A good prompt for this game is not a hard question — it is an easy one with more than one obvious answer. "Name a fruit" is too easy; "name a fruit that is red" is right, because apple and strawberry are both obvious and only one of them wins.
These are the prompts the online game draws from, including a desi pack about Bollywood, cricket, street food and Indian households — where a room of people who grew up in the same place will agree far more often than they expect.
