Of course, interviews done should be a standardized one and it should be based on the qualifications that companies are actually expecting in a candidate. Though that is the case, you should still find ways to ask "unexpected" questions that could shake things up during an interview.
What are those unexpected questions? Well, it could be mundane things such as their favorite film or movie. The purpose of such questions is to learn a bit more about the candidate's personality as opposed to just knowing about their professional attributes. Including a scenario question could be considered like what are the things that they are going to do when faced with this kind of challenge or situation.
Stepping out of the box as a recruiter is not a good thing. In fact it shows how versatile you could be. Just remember that you still need to incorporate the necessary things to make the interview work.
