This or That Game

How to play

This or that is a speed game. Each card offers two choices, and you say the one you prefer straight away, without a speech. No sitting on the fence. A few rounds in, you know a surprising amount about each other, which makes it a good game for meeting new people.

1. Choose a category for the group, or leave it on All.
2. Show the card to everyone, or read both choices out loud.
3. On a count of three, everyone calls out a pick at once. Tap a choice on the card to mark yours.
4. Ask one quick question to whoever picked differently.
5. Move on with Next before anyone overthinks it.

Controls

• All, Funny, Kids, Teens, Friends, Family, Hard, Food, School and Dream life pick the cards and reshuffle them.
• The two choices on the card are buttons. A tap marks your pick with a check and fades the other one.
• Next and Back change the card, and so does a swipe left or right on a touch screen.
• Play with friends takes 2 to 12 names and shows on each card who answers first.
• A pick on a Dream life card brings up Play that life in LifeSim, which opens in a new tab.

Tips

• Meeting someone new? Start with Food and Funny, which nobody overthinks, and save Hard for when everyone is relaxed.
• Ask why only when an answer surprises you. Explaining every card slows the game down.
• At a lunch table, one phone in the middle is enough. Whoever reads also turns the card.
• For a guessing round, the reader taps a pick while the others look away, then everyone guesses before the phone turns around.
