This or That Online

How to Play This or That Online

This or That is a fast choice game where every round presents two options. Tap the one you genuinely prefer, explain your decision if you want, and move to the next pair. The game starts immediately without registration, downloads, or required player setup.

1. Choose a category or begin with Popular.
2. Read both options before answering.
3. Tap one choice without selecting “both” or “neither.”
4. Explain your answer when it starts an interesting conversation.
5. Continue until the group wants to change categories.

• Old memories or new adventures?

This or That Questions for Couples

Couples choices can reveal preferences without becoming an interrogation. They work for date nights, long-distance calls, and relaxed conversations about shared plans.

• Fancy date or cozy night in?
• Love letter or thoughtful gift?
• Cook together or order food?
• Shared hobbies or separate hobbies?
• Surprise trip or planned holiday?
• Morning affection or late-night conversation?

Clean This or That Questions for Kids

Kids mode avoids adult topics and focuses on animals, food, imagination, school, and superpowers. Younger children can answer without explaining, while older children can describe why they chose each option.

• Dragon or unicorn?

Hard mode uses options with meaningful tradeoffs. Neither choice should feel automatically correct, so allow more time for reasoning.

• More time or more money?
• Know the future or change the past?
• Be respected or be understood?
• Perfect memory or complete inner peace?
• Truth that hurts or comfort that misleads?
• Great achievement alone or modest success with people you love?

Ways to Play With a Group

Opposite sides

Assign each side of the room to one option. Everyone moves at the same time, then one volunteer from each side explains the choice.

Quick fire

Allow only three seconds per pair. Complete ten rounds before returning to the choices that caused the strongest disagreement.

Majority wins

Everyone votes simultaneously. Players in the minority lose one point, and the last player with points remaining wins.

Guess your friend

Before a player answers, everyone predicts which option that person will choose. Correct predictions earn one point.

How to Play on Zoom, FaceTime, or Discord

One host can share the browser tab and read each pair aloud. Participants answer with A or B in chat, use reactions, or hold up one or two fingers. Add names if you want the turn indicator to rotate through the group.

Share only the game tab rather than the entire desktop, especially when private notifications could appear.

Why Use a This or That Generator?

A generator removes the delay of inventing new choices and prevents the same familiar questions from repeating. Separate categories make it easy to change the mood without searching through long static lists. The active deck remembers used pairs until the category is completed or reset.

This or That Versus Would You Rather

This or That usually compares short, familiar options such as coffee or tea. Would You Rather Online uses longer hypothetical dilemmas with consequences. For personal experiences, try Never Have I Ever Online. Groups that want voting can use Most Likely To Online, while Truth or Dare Online adds questions and challenges.
