This page mixes 478 this or that questions from every category, and after each pick you'll see how the vote split among other players who answered the same pair.

Questions people ask
What is the this or that game?
It's a quick choice game. You're shown two options and pick your favorite. Unlike would you rather, the choices are usually simple preferences, like cats or dogs, so it's fast to play and great for learning about people's tastes.
How is this different from would you rather?
Would you rather usually poses a scenario or dilemma that takes some thought. This or that is quicker and lighter, more about taste than tough decisions. Many groups start with this or that to warm up, then move to would you rather for deeper debates.
Where do the vote results come from?
The results come from anonymous votes by people who answered the same pair on Joke Plant. Your choice is added as soon as you tap. Newer questions may have fewer votes, so their numbers can change as more people play.
Can I use this or that in a classroom?
Yes. Teachers often project it and have students move to one side of the room for each option. It's quick, gets kids moving, and helps new classes learn about each other. The kids set is the best place to start with younger students.
