About these tech questions
Device and internet habits, which are now as tribal as football teams. Notifications on or off, tabs or windows, dark mode or light, phone call or text — pick the wrong side of any of these in the wrong room and you will be defending it for ten minutes.
Best for: Office icebreakers, engineering team socials, and online calls that need a warm-up.
- → Reliable remote-meeting opener: everyone answers in the chat at once, then read the split aloud.

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.
