When’s the last time you played a game of “Would You Rather,” 608?

In case you’ve never played, here’s a quick rundown:

Step 1 | A question is posed that pitches two options. Example: “Would you rather live in Madison or Green Bay?”
Step 2 | You decide what you’d rather do. No surprise here, we’re saying the 608.

Now, let’s tap into our inner middle schoolers and play this nostalgic game.

Question One

Would you rather participate in the CrossFit Games OR the Ironman?
Let’s assume you have a year to prepare.

  • Ironman, I trust my endurance.
  • CrossFit Games, I can lift a thing or two.

Question Two

Would you rather enjoy a meal with a view at Graze OR Pat O’Malley’s Jet Room?

Question Three

Would you rather give up cheese OR beer for a month?
We know — this is a real Sophie’s choice.

  • Give up beer, I put (extra) cheese on everything.
  • Give up cheese, happy hour is my happy place.

Question Four

Would you rather experience Madison 100 years ago OR 100 years in the future?

  • Take me back.
  • Show me the future.

Question Five

Would you rather wait in line at the UU OR the KK?
We’re taking it back to college with this one.

Question Six

Would you rather spend a day on State Street OR Willy Street?

  • Barhop and window shop on State.
  • I prefer to keep it weird on Willy.

Record your answers here.
