How you compare
Vote on a few questions and your results show up here.
How to play
Set a 30-second timer so nobody can talk their way out of picking a side.
Ban the answer "it depends"; if someone needs more details, the group makes them up on the spot.
Before you vote, guess which side the person next to you will choose.
After each question, ask what would have to change for you to switch sides.
Save the forever choices for last, once everyone has warmed up.
Playing in a group? Read a question out loud, let everyone pick a side, then tap the one the room chose and see how it compares with everyone online.
Questions people ask
What is the hardest would you rather question?
The hardest ones trade two things you care about, like would you rather have $10 million and no close friends or five close friends and just enough to get by. There's no single hardest one, because it depends on what you value most.
What makes a would you rather question hard?
Both sides cost you something real, and neither is clearly better. Hard questions often pit money against meaning, the past against the future, or your own plans against the people you love.
Are these difficult would you rather questions OK for teens?
They're written for adults and older teens. Nothing here is explicit, but many questions touch on money, family, careers and aging, which land best with people who have some life behind them.
