Entertainment This or That Questions
Music, shows, games, and going out
About these entertainment questions
Music, gigs, games and going out — the choices that decide what a night actually looks like. Front row or back, festival or single show, headphones or speakers, board games or console. Run this set when a group is deciding how to spend an evening and cannot agree; it usually surfaces the real disagreement faster than asking directly.
Best for: Planning a night out, festival groups, gaming sessions, and party playlists.

How to Play This or That
This or That is a two-option choice game with no scoring and no losing. One player reads a pair, everyone answers immediately, and the game moves on. It is the fastest way to get a silent room talking because there is nothing to think about and no wrong answer.
The rules
- Read a pair out loud: option A or option B.
- Everyone answers within about two seconds — instinct only, no explaining.
- Ask "why?" on any pair that splits the room. That is where the conversation starts.
- Move to the next pair immediately. Pace is what makes this game work.
Ways to change it up
- Split the room. Option A stands to the left, option B to the right. Works with any group size and burns off energy.
- Guess the answer. One player predicts what another will choose before they answer. A point per correct guess.
- Rapid fire. Ten pairs in a row against a timer. Anyone who hesitates or explains is out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on this page?
25 pairs, all shown in full on this page.
How long does a game take?
About two seconds per pair, so a full round of this list takes only a few minutes. That makes it the right game for a warm-up slot or a gap between activities rather than a whole evening.
How many players do you need?
Two is enough and there is no upper limit. For large groups, have option A stand on one side of the room and option B on the other — everyone answers at once and you can see the split instantly.
