# This or That Generator and Wheel: Random Questions, Spinners and Rankers Source: https://thisorthatquestion.com/this-or-that-generator Updated: 2026-11-11 Press Next question for a random pair from any list on this site. Nothing to install and no sign-up. ## Quick facts - The random picker on this page draws from every this or that pair on the site, or from a single list such as kids, work or food. - The picker runs in any phone or computer browser. It needs no app, no account and no download. - A this or that wheel puts each pair on its own slice. Spin it, read the pair that lands, and have everyone pick a side. - Ranking 10 items by comparing every possible pair takes 45 this or that questions. Ranking 20 items that way takes 190. - AI chat assistants can draft a custom list of pairs from a one-line prompt, but check the output for repeats and pairs with an obvious winner. ## How to use the this or that picker on this page The random this or that picker sits right under the introduction at the top of this page. It works as a this or that question generator for classrooms, meetings, road trips and parties. 1. Open the List menu. Leave it on All lists, or pick one list such as kids, work, couples or food. 2. Press Next question. A random pair appears with an "or" between the two options. 3. Read the pair aloud, or put your screen on a projector or TV so the group can see it. 4. Tap an option to mark your pick. The button stays highlighted until you draw the next question. 5. Press Next question again for a new pair. The picker never shows the same pair twice in a row. 6. Check the count under the button to see how many questions sit in the list you chose. ## How to make a this or that wheel or spinner A this or that spinner adds a moment of suspense before each question. Wheel of Names is a free website that spins a wheel of any text you type in. 1. Pick 10 to 20 pairs from the lists below or from any page on this site. 2. Open Wheel of Names and delete the sample entries. 3. Type one full pair per line, such as "Bumper cars or Go-karts?". Each line becomes one slice. 4. Click the wheel to spin. Read the pair that lands and have everyone pick a side. 5. Remove the pair after it lands so the wheel does not repeat it. 6. For a this or that decision maker, put just two slices on the wheel, one per option, and let the spin choose. ## This or that ranker, ranking maker and tier list A this or that ranker turns head-to-head picks into a full ranking. You compare two items at a time, and the item that wins the most matchups ranks first. To build a custom this or that ranker by hand, list your items, write every pair, and tally one point per win. Five items need 10 pairs and 8 items need 28. A this or that tier list skips the matchups. TierMaker is a website where you drag items into rows labeled S, A, B, C and D. Run a this or that round first, then place the winners in the top tiers. - Keep a ranking to 5 to 8 items. Past that, the number of pairs grows too fast for a live group. - Use a spreadsheet as a this or that ranking maker: one row per pair, a column for the winner, and COUNTIF to total the wins. - Use a bracket instead of every pair when you have 16 items or more. A 16-item bracket needs only 15 matchups. - Ask the group to vote by raising hands and record the majority as the winner of each pair. ## AI this or that question generators Any AI chat assistant, such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, can act as a this or that question generator. Give it the audience, the topic and the number of pairs you need. - Sample prompt: "Write 20 this or that questions for 4th graders about animals. Keep each option to 1 to 3 words. Both options should be equally tempting." - Say who will answer. A prompt that names "coworkers on a Monday call" returns safer pairs than one that names no audience. - Ask for a format you can paste, such as one pair per line, so the list drops straight into a wheel or a slide. - Read every pair before you use it. AI lists often repeat pairs, invent foods or slip in a lopsided matchup. - Ask for a second batch on a new topic instead of asking for 100 at once. Short lists come back cleaner. ## Custom this or that games and templates A this or that game maker can be any tool that shows two choices and collects votes. Pick the one that fits your room. Even a slide app works as a this or that maker for a one-off game. - Live class or meeting: Kahoot, Mentimeter or Slido. Make each question a poll with two answer choices. - Async team or parents: Google Forms or Microsoft Forms with one multiple choice question per pair. - Screen share: one slide per pair in Google Slides or PowerPoint. The template page linked below shows the layout. - Phone: Instagram story poll sticker, which has two answer options by default. - Paper: print any page on this site with your browser's Print button, then cut the pairs into cards for a this or that custom deck. ## Everyday pairs for a wheel or picker 1.

All lists mixes in adult and work pairs. - Let a different player press Next question each round. Kids stay alert when they know their turn is coming. - On a video call, share your screen with the picker open and have people answer in the chat with 1 or 2. - Write down pairs that split the room 50/50. Save them for a custom this or that list you can reuse. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a this or that generator? A this or that generator shows one random pair of options at a time, such as "Pirates or Ninjas?", so nobody has to prepare a list. The picker on this page does that in your browser. It draws from every question list on this site, or from one list you choose. ### Is there a free this or that generator? Yes. The random picker on this page is free and runs in your browser with no sign-up. It draws from every this or that list on the site, and you can limit it to one list, such as kids or work, with the List menu. ### What is a this or that website I can use in class? This site works in class. Open this page on the classroom screen and press Next question for each new pair. Pick the kids or students list in the List menu to keep every question school-appropriate. ### Is there a this or that app? No, this site is not an app. It is a website that runs in any phone, tablet or computer browser, so there is nothing to install. Add the page to your home screen if you want one-tap access. ### Is this the this or that app 2016 players remember? No. This site has no connection to any older this or that app from 2016 or any other year. It is a plain website with question lists and a random picker that work in a browser. ### How do I make a this or that wheel? Type one pair per line into a wheel website such as Wheel of Names, then click the wheel to spin. Read the pair that lands and have everyone pick a side. Use 10 to 20 pairs so the wheel stays readable. ### How does a this or that ranker work? A this or that ranker compares items two at a time and counts the wins. The item with the most wins ranks first. Comparing every pair of 10 items takes 45 questions, so keep live rankings to 5 to 8 items. ### Can AI make this or that questions? Yes. AI chat assistants can write this or that questions from a short prompt that names the audience, topic and number of pairs. Read the results before you use them, because AI lists often include repeats and lopsided pairs. ### What is a this or that chooser or decision maker? A this or that chooser picks between two options at random, like a coin flip. Put your two options on a two-slice wheel, or flip a coin with heads for one and tails for the other. Use it for low-stakes calls such as where to eat. ### Is there a this or that template maker or game generator? This site does not build templates for you, but Canva, Google Slides and PowerPoint all work as a this or that template maker. For a this or that game generator, use the random picker here, or load pairs into Kahoot or a Google Form. ### How do I make a this or that ranking generator for my own list? Use a spreadsheet. Put every pair of your items in rows, record the winner of each matchup in a second column, and use COUNTIF to count each item's wins. Sort by wins to get the final ranking.
