For dramatic purposes, I want to switch up the way I used quotations by doing this:

"Did you close the door?" were his first words to his companions. Is it possible to do this?
Or would you replace the question mark with a comma instead?

Thanks,

Yes, you can do that.  No comma; keep the question mark.
