This is a great idea to get conversations going. However, I encourage those who are asking these questions to actually stop and listen to the answers that are being given, and take part in the conversation. This is an activity to get to know others and to actually interact with people. When we've had this challenge before, I've too often observed people just jumping from room to room asking the ice breaker questions, without even taking the time to listen for one response. This can be discouraging or hurtful to people if there is someone in the room that finally decides to share and open up because they feel as though someone is taking time to listen to them, but then ends up having no one there to actually hear their response. Please use this as an opportunity to build relationships with others and to encourage others to share and open up.
Anyway, enough from me. 
Have fun getting to know others!! 
@Heather
Yayy i love icebreakers! My favorite is "whats your favorite type of ice cream"
have a nice day!
Rewarding people for how frequently they ask ice breaker questions would probably just encourage copy-paste spam. I would have liked it if there was a badge for everyone who participated, as the more people are engaged in getting to know another and actually listening to the answers is probably the better goal than 2 people for asking the most questions. Quality over quantity.
@Zeraphim I agree. Reward based on number of people who *actually answer*.
I went into the Depression Community chat room and asked 'What is your favorite food?' Only one person answered xD, but then more people came in and we all chatted. By the time I left, a good handufl of people were chatting in a friendly way. Whether it's due to my question or not, I'm glad they are having a good time! =D
By now
