How to run these well
Open with the easy ones
Start with low-stakes picks like coffee or tea before anything personal. Easy questions get hands moving and phones out, so the room is already warmed up by the time you reach the spicier prompts.
Lean into the split
The fun is in a 50/50 result. When the bar lands near even, pause and ask a few people to defend their side out loud. A lopsided result is a cue to move on quickly to the next question.
Keep the pace fast
This or that lives on momentum. Give each prompt 15 to 20 seconds, watch the live bar settle, then snap to the next one. A rapid-fire round of 8 to 10 questions keeps energy high without dragging.

الأسئلة الشائعة
What is a this or that question?
It is a quick prompt with exactly two options, like coffee or tea, where people pick the one they prefer. Because there are only two answers, it works as a clean two-option live poll that everyone can answer in a single tap.
How do people join and answer?
They scan a QR code or open a link from any phone, with no app to install and no account to create. They just tap one of the two options and the results animate live on the shared screen as votes come in.
Are the answers anonymous?
Yes. Responses are anonymous by default, so people vote honestly without worrying who picked what. That makes this or that a low-pressure way to warm up a room or break the ice with a new group.
Can I use this or that as a fast icebreaker?
Absolutely. A rapid round of two-option polls is one of the quickest icebreakers there is: launch a question, let everyone tap, and watch the split appear in seconds. It gets a quiet room talking before you move into the main agenda.
Can I ask an open-ended question too?
Yes. Alongside two-option this-or-that polls you can switch to a word cloud question, where people type a short answer and the most common words grow biggest on screen. It is a nice way to follow a quick pick with an open prompt.
