Don't Answer That

Don't Answer That
Remote or in person

Two people ask each other questions. Neither may ever answer one.

Pairs hold a conversation made entirely of questions β€” every line has to be a question, and answering loses. It sounds impossible and is oddly easy for about twenty seconds, then collapses, and the collapse is very funny to watch across a room.
