# Huge numbered question list split into categories

A relationships and dating format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/relationships-and-dating/huge-numbered-question-list-split-into-categories

Package a large set of prompts, like 32 or 50, into themed slides so viewers save it to use later. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 7x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Slideshow.

## Why it works

The sheer count and clear categories make it a ready-to-use activity that has to be saved to be used. It works for date nights and for sharing with a partner.

## How to make it

1. Pick a big number of questions
2. Split them into labelled categories or slides of 10
3. Title the post with the number and the use
4. Make it playable on the spot

## Hook formula

[Big number] [adjective] questions to ask your [partner]

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
