Ask yes or no questions. "What should I eat?" confuses the ball.
Keep it short and specific: "Should I text them tonight?" beats "Love life?"
Match the answer style: Sarcastic for funny questions, Love for crushes.
Remember half the answers are yes, so the ball leans optimistic.

What makes a good magic 8 ball question
A good magic 8 ball question is one that yes, no or "not now" can settle, because every one of the toy's 20 answers is a version of those three. Questions that start with Will, Should, Is, Am or Do work. Questions that start with What, Who, Where or Why do not.
The fun is in the stakes. "Will it rain?" is fine. "Should I tell my boss I've been using the stapler as a hole punch?" is better. Write your own answers for a game night on the custom magic 8 ball page, or read every classic magic 8 ball answer to see what the ball might say.
