150+ This or That Questions

This or That is Would You Rather’s faster, punchier cousin. No elaborate dilemma, no hypothetical scenario, just two options and an instant pick. That speed is exactly what makes it work as an icebreaker: nobody overthinks “cats or dogs,” and the quick answers add up into a surprisingly good sense of who someone actually is. Below are 150-plus fresh questions across six categories, food and drink, entertainment, lifestyle, travel and adventure, deeper personality picks, and pure random fun.

Already a fan of party-question games? This site also has a Would You Rather game built into the homepage playground, a Truth or Dare list in Clean and Bold editions, and a Never Have I Ever game with 1,000 prompts, all part of the same party-games corner of this site. Want an even bigger stash of pairs? Our 500+ This or That questions for every group list goes deep by audience and theme.

How to play This or That

1. One person reads a question aloud: “This, or that?”
2. Everyone answers immediately, first instinct, no long deliberation.
3. Optional: ask why. The reasoning behind a pick is often more interesting than the pick itself.
4. Rotate who asks the next question, or let one person run through the whole list.

There’s no wrong answer and no real strategy, which is exactly why it works with any group size, from two people on a first date to a whole room at a party.
