How to use the This or That Questions
Pick a theme such as Kids, Couples or Work, or choose Mix all.
Tap this or that. In Just me mode your pick is saved and the next question appears automatically.
For a group or class, choose Group tally: everyone taps (or raises hands and you tap for them), then press Next question.
Add pressure with the quick-fire timer: the question moves on when the bar runs out.

Turn quick answers into conversations
A this or that question takes a second to answer, but a simple follow-up can turn it into a real conversation, which is why teachers and team leads use them as icebreakers.
Ask "why?" after a surprising pick: someone who chooses winter over summer probably has a story.
Look for majorities and minorities in Group tally mode, and ask the smaller side to make their case.
Write your own: students can invent pairs for a topic they are studying (planets, books, historical inventions) and the class votes on them.
Keep it light: there are no wrong answers, so these work well for shy groups and new teams.
Frequently asked questions
What are this or that questions?
They are quick questions that give two options, such as 'Dogs or cats?' or 'Beach or mountains?', and you pick one without overthinking. They make easy icebreakers, warm-ups for classrooms and meetings, car-ride games and getting-to-know-you conversations.
How do I use it with a class or a group?
Switch to Group tally. Show the screen to the room, read the two options, and tap once for every person who chooses each side (or pass a tablet around). The counts and percentages update live, and the list below keeps every question's result. Download CSV to keep a record.
What is the difference between this or that and would you rather?
This or that questions are short, simple preferences (pizza or burgers) designed to be answered in a second. Would you rather questions describe two imaginary situations and usually lead to longer discussion. Use this or that for fast rounds and would you rather for deeper chats.
Are the questions suitable for kids and work?
Yes. All questions are family-friendly. The Kids and School themes are written for children, the Work theme suits team meetings, and the Couples theme has sweet, light questions about dates and habits.
What does quick-fire mode do?
It adds a countdown bar to every question. When time runs out, the game moves to the next question whether or not anyone picked. It's great for speed rounds where people have to answer on instinct.
Are my answers shared or stored online?
No. Your picks and group votes are kept only in this browser's local storage so they survive a page reload. Press Clear to remove them, or copy and download them if you want to keep them.
