ONE-TAP QUESTION PICKER
Give the room a choice.
Would you rather choose the playlist or choose the snacks?
HOW TO PLAY
Ask, choose, then ask “why?”
A would-you-rather question gives two scenarios and requires one choice. With two people, answer at the same time. In a group, count down from three and point left or right. If the room splits, invite one person from each side to explain. Five questions usually make a better quick round than trying to finish a huge list.

Group Picks lets everyone answer a frozen five-question set independently. The aggregate split appears after three responses. For one friend or partner, Quick Read adds a prediction before both people see Knowledge + Match.
Common questions about would-you-rather
What makes a good would-you-rather question?
Both options should be understandable, plausible enough to imagine, and difficult for different reasons. The best prompt creates a split and makes the explanation more interesting than the choice.
How many questions should a group play?
Start with five. Continue only while people still want to explain their choices. A short round keeps the pace high and makes it easy to share in a group chat.
Can these questions be used at work?
The work section is designed as a voluntary icebreaker about ordinary collaboration preferences. Do not use answers for hiring, performance, personality labeling, or pressure to disclose personal information.
