This or That Generator

Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.

A this or that generator solves the blank-page problem when you need quick, crowd-pleasing questions for a party, team meeting, or social media poll. Pick a theme and how many pairs you want, hit generate, and you have a ready-to-use set in seconds. No prep, no writing, no awkward silences. The format works because every answer is defensible. People debate pizza vs. tacos with genuine energy, and no one walks away feeling put on the spot. Content creators use themed batches to fuel a week of Instagram Stories polls. Teachers drop five pairs in as a bell-ringer. Game hosts print a set and deal them like cards.

Detailed instructions

  1. Set the count field to how many pairs you need — 5 for a quick game, 10–15 for a full party round.
  2. Choose a theme that matches your audience: food for foodies, pop culture for a movie night, mixed for a general crowd.
  3. Click Generate to produce your set of this-or-that pairs instantly.
  4. Scan the results and remove any pairs that feel too similar or don't fit the mood before sharing.
  5. Copy the list and paste it into a chat, slide deck, poll tool, or read it aloud directly from the screen.

Use Cases

  • •Running a 10-question icebreaker round at a bachelorette or birthday party
  • •Scheduling a week of Instagram Stories poll posts from a single food-themed batch
  • •Opening a remote team standup with 3 quick pairs to warm up video-shy colleagues
  • •Generating first-date conversation starters themed around lifestyle preferences
  • •Using 5 classroom bell-ringers to settle students and spark a one-sentence writing warm-up

Tips

  • →Generate two themed batches and interleave them — alternating food and lifestyle questions keeps a long game from feeling repetitive.
  • →For social media, choose pairs where both options have vocal fans; avoid lopsided matchups where 90% will pick the same side.
  • →In team settings, skip celebrity and pop culture themes — professional audiences respond better to food, travel, or work-style pairs.
  • →If a generated pair has two very similar options, replace one with the opposite extreme to sharpen the debate.
  • →For first dates, the mixed theme is safer than pop culture — shared cultural knowledge can't be assumed, but everyone has food preferences.
  • →Generate a set of 20 and treat it as a menu — letting the group vote on which questions to even answer adds a meta layer of engagement.

FAQ

how many this or that questions do you need for a party game

For a seated group game, 10–15 pairs keeps energy high without dragging. Generate 20, scan through, and drop any that feel repetitive or off-theme — you'll have a tighter set in under a minute. For a quick icebreaker at the start of an event, 5–7 pairs is plenty.

what's the difference between this or that and would you rather questions

This-or-that pairs are concrete preferences — pizza vs. tacos, beach vs. mountains — so everyone can answer at once and the round moves fast. Would-you-rather questions usually involve hypothetical trade-offs that prompt longer individual explanations. Use this-or-that for large groups or social media; would-you-rather works better for smaller, deeper conversations.

can I use generated this or that questions for instagram polls

Yes — paste each option directly into an Instagram Stories poll sticker. Food and lifestyle themes tend to drive the highest engagement because they trigger strong, instant opinions. Post during peak hours and add a follow-up prompt in your caption to push comments beyond the poll tap.
