About the this or that wheel
This wheel holds 40 classic "this or that" questions, more than most lists online. Each slice is a quick either-or choice. Spin, and everyone answers by picking one side, then explains why. It’s a quick, low-pressure icebreaker that works for classrooms, team meetings, first dates, and family dinners.
Ways to use it
- Meeting or class icebreaker: everyone answers the question the wheel picks.
- Road trip conversation game.
- Get-to-know-you game on a first date.
How to play this or that
Spin, read both options out loud, and everyone picks one. In a classroom, point to two sides of the room and students walk to their choice. With friends, count down from three and answer together, then the minority has to defend their pick. Keep a tally to see which answers your group agrees on most.
Making your own this or that questions
Good questions are quick to answer but fun to argue about: two options people genuinely split on, like "sunrise or sunset". Avoid questions with an obvious winner. Type your own pairs into the wheel, one per line, and save it for next time, or try the versions for kids, couples and food.
