As a fan of The Good Place, I’m always looking for ways to incorporate the show’s wit, humor, and thought-provoking themes into my events. One fun way to do this is by using The Good Place-themed “This or That” icebreaker questions. By asking questions related to the show’s characters, storylines, and philosophical ideas, you can create a sense of community among your guests and encourage them to share their opinions and experiences.
How to incorporate The Good Place themed This or That questions
To incorporate The Good Place-themed “This or That” questions into your event, follow these steps:
-
Prepare a list of questions beforehand that are related to the show’s characters, storylines, and philosophical concepts. You can find inspiration from watching episodes, reading recaps, or browsing online forums and fan sites.
-
Print out the questions on cards or display them on a screen or a poster board. Encourage your guests to form small groups of 3-5 people and take turns asking each other the questions. You can also create a rotation system where each group moves on to the next question after a set amount of time (e.g., 2-3 minutes).
-
Make sure everyone has a chance to answer each question and listen actively to their responses. Encourage follow-up questions, comments, and discussions that build on the initial answers. You can also share your own insights and opinions about the show to keep the conversation flowing.
-
After everyone has had a chance to answer all the questions, gather your guests in a larger group and ask them to share their favorite or most surprising answers. You can also use this opportunity to highlight any commonalities or connections that emerged during the activity.
-
Consider using some of the insights or stories that came up during the “This or That” icebreaker as a springboard for further conversations and activities throughout the day. For example, you could organize a trivia game based on The Good Place trivia or create a photo booth with props inspired by the show’s settings and characters.

To keep your The Good Place-themed icebreaker questions fresh and engaging, you can explore different themes and categories that are relevant to the show. Here are some ideas:
