Would you Rather?

Would You Rather? is a talking game rather than a playing one. It holds a library of more than a hundred and twenty either-or dilemmas, shows one at a time, and then gets out of the way so the room can argue about it. Nothing is scored and nothing needs an internet connection once it has loaded, which is why it works as well in a car as it does at a table.

This title is best suited to groups who want a conversation starter rather than something to win.

1. Gather the group around one screen
2. Read the dilemma the game shows
3. Have everyone commit to one of the two options
4. Argue the case before moving on
5. Advance to the next question when the room is done

• Mouse or tap: tap to reveal the next question

Objectives

• Work through the question library as a group, using each dilemma as a conversation starter.

The run ends or fails when

• No fail state. There are no wrong answers and nothing to lose.

• A single-button reveal serves one question at a time, keeping the focus on the group.
• The library is large enough that repeats take a long time to appear.
• No scoring or turn tracking, so any number of people can take part.

• Make everyone commit before anyone explains why
• Skip a question that lands flat instead of forcing it
• Pass the device around so one person is not running the whole game
