I'm a university student, and my friends and I play this or that almost every week. I started this site because I could never find good questions in one place.
Why I built this
We play on road trips, during study breaks and at birthday dinners. Every time, someone searched for questions and found the same short lists. Half the pairs repeated, a lot of them had an obvious winner, and nothing was sorted by who you were playing with.
I wanted one place with good pairs sorted by group and occasion, plus a button that picks the next question so nobody has to scroll through a list. I could not find it, so I built it.
How I choose the questions
- Both options have to be tempting. If almost everyone picks the same side, the pair goes.
- Pairs are sorted by who you are asking: kids, classmates, coworkers, couples or friends.
- Kids and work lists stay clean. The 18+ list is marked and stays out of the picker's All lists option.
- Options stay short, so people answer in a second and then argue about why.
Pairs my friends still argue about
- Pineapple on pizza or No pineapple?
- Early bird or Night owl?
- Time travel or Teleportation?
- Texting or Calling?
