How to play

  • Run a lightning round at the start of a standup: read five pairs and have everyone answer each one out loud in a single word.
  • Post one pair a day in your team chat with two emoji reactions, one for each side.
  • On a video call, have people hold up one finger for the first option and two for the second so everyone answers at once.
  • Warm up a retro with two or three pairs from the work style section, then ask what the split says about how the team works.
  • For onboarding, send a new hire five pairs to answer and share their picks with the team in the welcome post.
  • Keep it under two minutes: once everyone has picked, ask one person from each side for a one-line reason.

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 are good this or that questions for work?

Pick pairs about things everyone at work deals with, like 'email or chat message,' 'office days or home days' and 'donut Friday or bagel Friday.' They're easy to answer, nobody has to share anything personal, and they still get people talking.

How do you play this or that as an icebreaker?

Read a pair out loud and have everyone answer at once, by voice, hand signal or chat. Do three to five pairs and let a person or two explain their pick. The whole thing takes about two minutes.

How long should a work icebreaker take?

Two to five minutes is usually enough. One round of three to five this or that pairs fits at the start of a meeting without eating into the agenda.
