How to play
Would You Rather.

You do not need a board, a scorekeeper, or a very good excuse. Just two options and someone with an opinion.

The simple rules

1. Read both options out loud.
2. Everyone chooses the option they would rather do. You can always pass.
3. Reveal your answers together and explain why.
4. Move to the next question when the conversation is ready.

On RatherPlay, tap a card to cast your vote. The percentages show how people have voted on that question. Auto-next moves on after four seconds; switch it off for a slower game.

Playing with friends

Before anyone explains, count down from three and point left or right together. It keeps the first confident answer from influencing the whole group. Give the less popular side a chance to make its case.

The prediction round

With a partner or a close friend, guess their answer first. Then let them reveal their choice. A correct guess earns a point if you want to keep score, but the explanations are usually more fun.

A five-minute team icebreaker

Pick three work questions, keep participation optional, and invite a different person to explain each round. For remote teams, everyone can vote on their own device or use a show of hands on the call.

Playing with children

Choose the Kids category. Read both options slowly, use pointing for younger children, and follow up with “Why?” or “What would that look like?” There is no need to rush or keep score.

A few good house rules

Keep scenarios imaginary, respect a pass, and avoid making anyone justify a personal boundary. If an option does not fit someone's needs, agree on a substitute before voting. You are aiming for a good conversation, not a verdict.
