  4. Talk through the split pairs first. Those are the choices to settle before booking.
  5. Save the destination pairs for last and use the results to shortlist two places.

Tips for a this or that vacation edition

  • With kids, swap in pairs they can picture: "Pool or Beach?", "Pancakes at the hotel or Donuts on the road?".
  • For couples, ask both people to guess the other's answer before revealing. Wrong guesses start the best conversations.
  • For a class, ask students where they have been and use local or regional places they know.
  • On a long drive, let each passenger ask one pair per hour. It breaks up the trip without screens.
  • Skip pairs that hinge on budget in a mixed group. "First class or Economy?" can make some players feel left out.
