Quick preferences, instant conversation.
Coffee or tea? Mountains or beach? This or That starts with familiar choices you can answer without much thought. Compare the group, notice unexpected matches and move on whenever you are ready. This works well as a five-minute arrival game. Read a pair, count down and have everyone point left or right. Notice a surprising split, ask one volunteer why, and move on before the explanation becomes a debate about the one correct preference.
Use a show of hands in a large group. Anyone can sit out a pair that does not fit them.

Good to know
Can I choose both?
The page records one option at a time. In conversation, you can allow 'both' or 'neither' if the group prefers.
Is there a timer?
No. Keep it quick yourselves or take longer to discuss a surprising split.
How do we keep a large group moving?
Read the pair, count down from three and collect a show of hands. Ask for one short reason, then move on before every answer becomes a debate.
Can we skip a pair?
Yes. Anyone can sit out a choice that does not fit them, and the host can draw the next pair without asking for an explanation.
Is this a scored game?
No. It works best as a quick preference game. If you want a result, count how often players match rather than ranking the choices.
