How To Play the This or That Game

Every question gives you two choices. Pancakes or waffles. Window seat or aisle seat. A tiny dragon or a giant cat. Tap the side you agree with and the next question pops up right away.

There are no right answers and no timer. Go with your gut. If you tap the wrong one by accident, press Back to undo it.

On a computer you can play without the mouse. Press the left arrow or 1 for the left side, and the right arrow or 2 for the right side.

After 20 questions you get a summary of your round. It shows your personality, a bar for each of your four styles and a full list of everything you picked. You can share your personality or copy your whole list of picks to send to a friend.

Pass the Phone With a Friend

Pick Pass the phone on the start screen to play with two people on one device. Player 1 answers first, then hands it over. Player 2 gets the same questions in the same order. At the end, the game counts how many of your picks matched.

What Your Score Means

In solo mode your result is a personality, not a number. Each choice leans toward being cozy, bold, chaotic or orderly. The two styles you picked most often decide your title, like the Snuggly Gremlin or the Clipboard Hero.

The style bars show exactly how your 20 picks were split. If two bars are close, a couple of different answers could flip your title. Play again and see if you stay the same.

In pass the phone mode your score is how many of the 20 picks you and your friend agreed on:

  • 15 or more: you two think alike. It might be a little spooky.
  • 10 to 14: mostly on the same page, with some strong opinions.
  • Under 10: you disagree a lot, which makes for great arguments over dinner.

Your best match so far is saved on your device.

Tips To Improve

There is no wrong way to play, but these make it more fun:

  • Answer fast. Your first feeling is usually your real opinion. Thinking too long makes everything sound reasonable.
  • Play a few rounds. Each round mixes in different questions, so your personality can shift.
  • Guess before you compare. In 2-player mode, each of you guess your match number before the result shows up.
  • Copy your picks. Send your list to a group chat and let everyone argue about the frog voting question.

Why Picking Sides Is So Fun

Silly debates are fun because they are safe. Nobody gets hurt if you think soup from a mug counts as a drink. You still get to defend your choice like it matters.

The questions here were written for this page, from food fights to strange what-ifs. Every summary is about you and your own picks, never about strangers, so there are no fake crowd numbers telling you what everyone else thinks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see what other people picked?

No. The game does not collect anyone's answers, so there are no crowd results or percentages to show. Your summary is built only from your own picks, and in 2-player mode, from the two sets of picks made on your device.

How is my personality chosen?

Every option leans toward one of four styles: cozy, bold, chaotic or orderly. The game counts how often you picked each style. Your top two styles decide which of 12 silly personalities you get.

How does pass the phone mode work?

Player 1 answers all 20 questions, then hands the device to Player 2, who gets the exact same questions in the same order. At the end you see how many picks matched and a list of every question you disagreed on.

Are the questions the same every time?

No. There are 46 questions, and each round picks 20 of them. The game tries to skip the ones you saw last round, so back-to-back rounds feel fresh.

Can I change an answer?

Yes. Press the Back button (or Backspace on a keyboard) to undo your last pick and choose again.
