43 mind-meld prompts: can you all think alike?
There are no right answers here. There is a prompt, four options and one rule: no talking. The group wins if nearly everyone picks the same thing. It is harder than it sounds, because there is always someone whose best pizza topping is pineapple.
These 43 prompts come from the “One mind” mini-game in Curse Road, adapted into English. Some are about food, some about which instrument best scares a spellbook.
The game is currently in Latvian; an English version is in progress.
No talking! Let us see how well you really know each other.The Grimoire

How to play with these prompts
Without phones. Read the prompt and the four answers. Everyone secretly gets a number from one to four ready on their fingers, and on “three” you all show. If everyone matches, or everyone but one, the group scores a point.
In the game. In Curse Road this is one of eleven mini-games. Ghosts play too, but only the living players’ picks decide the majority.
If you want questions about yourselves rather than about pizza, see the what-would-they-do questions.
