Random Question Generator

How it works

Choose who you’re asking and how deep you want to go, then pull the lever. A capsule drops with one question to ask out loud. Common questions are light, rare ones go deeper, and ultra-rare ones are the brave kind you’d only ask someone you trust. On Mix, about one pull in eight is ultra-rare.
