Methodology
This page describes how the Question Parties library is built: where prompts come from, how they are categorized and reviewed, and how the numbers you see on the site are computed.
Where prompts come from
Prompts are written and edited for Question Parties. Some start as drafts from our own writing process; others start as community ideas sent through the submission form. Either way, a prompt only enters the library after review — submissions are never auto-published.
How prompts are categorized
Each prompt is classified along several dimensions so it can be filtered safely and sensibly:
- Game type: Would You Rather, Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever, This or That, 21 Questions, or Most Likely To.
- Category: the theme or occasion, such as funny, hard, or for work.
- Audience: kids, teens, family, adults, couples, work, or friends.
- Difficulty or intensity: where the game supports it.
The review pipeline
Review is automated first, then manual. Automated checks scan each prompt's text and taxonomy for content signals — sexual content, substances, violence, humiliation, and relationship themes. Sexual or substance signals force an adult-only rating no matter what tags were applied. Manual review covers clarity, originality, and whether the rating and audience tags make sense for real players. A prompt is published only after passing both steps. Our Safety & Review Policy explains how those ratings are enforced in every session.
How counts are computed
The question counts shown on the homepage, game pages, and category pages are computed directly from the actual prompt library at build time. They are not marketing numbers, and they change only when the library changes. For the same reason, community vote counts were removed from the site: they were seeded rather than collected from real votes. Voting is now session-only — "Your pick" reflects your own choice, not an invented total.
Updates and corrections
Anyone can report a prompt from the report link on its card. Reports enter a moderation queue, and a reviewer can edit, re-rate, or remove the prompt in the single shared library behind every page. Because lists, sessions, and printables all draw from that one library, one correction removes the prompt from every surface at once when the update ships.
Review dates
Where a page states a "last reviewed" date, it reflects when that page's content was last checked against the library and these rules. This page describes the standing process and is updated whenever the process itself changes.
