How to make a this or that Kahoot

Kahoot works for both trivia and opinion questions. Trivia needs a correct answer. Opinion questions need a way for every answer to count.

  1. Sign in to Kahoot and click Create, then start a blank kahoot.
  2. For trivia, add a Quiz question. Type the question, fill in two answer tiles and delete the empty ones. Mark the correct answer.
  3. For a true or false style pair, use the True or false question type, which shows two tiles.
  4. For opinion pairs such as "Mixtape or Streaming playlist?", use the Poll question type if your plan includes it. If not, use a Quiz question and mark both answers correct so nobody loses points.
  5. Set the time limit to 10 or 20 seconds per question. Two-choice questions do not need longer.
  6. Add 10 to 15 questions, save, and click Start to host it live or assign it as homework.

Tips for writing this or that quizzes

  • Write the scoring key first, then write the questions to fit it. Each option should point clearly to one result.
  • Keep the options balanced. If one side sounds cooler, everyone picks it and the results stop meaning anything.
  • Fact-check every trivia answer against two sources before you play it.
  • Teachers add this or that quizzes to the end of a unit: ten two-choice review questions take about 4 minutes in Kahoot.
  • Present a personality result as a fun label, not a diagnosis. Nobody wants to be told they are boring.
  • For more quiz pairs, use the random picker at /this-or-that-generator. It gives a new pair with each click.

Frequently asked questions

What is a this or that quiz?

A this or that quiz is a list of two-option questions with a result at the end. It can sort you into a personality type, test how well friends know you, or check trivia knowledge. Most have 10 to 15 questions.

Write 10 to 15 pairs about habits, such as Texts back fast or Leaves you on read. One friend answers privately, the others guess, and each correct guess scores one point. Take turns so everyone gets quizzed once.

Yes. For trivia, use Kahoot's Quiz question with two answer tiles and mark the correct one, or use the True or false type. For opinion pairs, use the Poll type if your plan includes it, or mark both answers correct in a Quiz question.

Mix trivia with opinion pairs. Ask Which planet is hotter: Mercury or Venus, then an opinion pair like Arcade or Mobile games. Trivia gives points, and opinion pairs let everyone see how the class voted.

No. A this or that test made from a dozen pairs is for fun, not a scientific measure. It works as a conversation starter, because people compare results and argue about whether the label fits.

Good this or that trivia questions have one clear, checkable answer and a believable wrong option. Mercury or Venus for the hottest planet works because many people guess Mercury. Avoid questions where sources disagree, such as the world's longest river.

Use 10 to 15 questions. That takes 2 to 4 minutes, gives a personality result enough picks to mean something, and keeps a trivia round from dragging. For a class review in Kahoot, 10 questions fits a warm-up.
