How to play this or that

Choose a comfortable starting point

Pick an audience bank that fits everyone present. Kids and school groups have their own clean banks, while work questions are written for optional participation. If you are unsure, start with a lighter general round.

You need only a browser and someone willing to read. Play mode shows one prompt at a time; printable cards work when you would rather leave the phone aside. Nobody needs an account.

Take a turn

Read two options, pick one quickly, then compare answers. Add a one-sentence explanation if you like.

Read the whole prompt before answering. Invite a short answer first, then leave room for a story if the group wants one. A quiet answer counts just as much as a funny or confident one.

Make passing easy

Agree before starting that anyone can skip without explaining. Use the Skip control, draw a new card, or change the category. There are no drinking penalties, compulsory disclosures or unwanted physical challenges.

If a follow-up feels too personal, let the person answering set the boundary. The aim is a comfortable conversation, not a competition to reveal the most.

Try another rhythm

• Quick round: pick ten prompts and keep each answer to a sentence.
• Story round: choose fewer prompts and invite one optional follow-up.
• Paper round: print a set, cut out the cards, and keep a skip pile nearby.

For remote groups

Share the play link or your screen and take turns in an agreed order. Give people time to respond, especially in a text conversation. You can copy a single question or the current seeded round.

For text games, choose the over-text truth-or-dare bank when available. Its creative challenges can be described in the chat without private photos or screenshots.
