Questions

What makes a good would you rather question?

Two options that are close: both a bit appealing or both a bit awful, so the room actually splits. The best ones make people explain themselves. We wrote these to land near 50/50, and the live votes show which ones do.

How do the votes work?

Each browser gets one vote per question. Tap a side and you see how many people picked each one. Until 20 people have answered a question we show the counts rather than a percentage, so a handful of votes never looks like a verdict. We store only the two totals, nothing about who voted.

Can I play this with a group or a class?

Yes. Press Play with a group to open the question full screen on a TV, projector or shared screen. In group mode a tap doesn’t vote: the room answers out loud, then you press Show how everyone voted.

Can I print the questions?

Yes. Press Print the list for every question in the category you have picked, or Copy the list to paste them into slides or a document.
