Looking for a quick way to turn small talk into big giggles? A round of this or that works like a charm – fast choices, zero prep, and plenty of reveals. The premise is simple: present two options, pick one, and keep the momentum rolling. Because the format is instinctive, it lowers the pressure and lifts the mood, whether you’re swapping flirty answers with a crush, debriefing with long-time partners, or passing time with friends on a road trip. The prompts below cover saucy bedroom scenarios, delicious foodie debates, everyday preferences, and delightfully ridiculous hypotheticals. Mix and match as you go, or read them in order – either way, the game keeps conversation light, honest, and full of laughter.

Before you dive in, set the tone you want. You can run a gentle warm-up, skip straight to the spicy set, or rotate categories. If someone blushes – in a good way – pause there and relish the banter. If a topic isn’t your vibe, pass and slide to the next card. The magic of this or that is momentum, not interrogation. Keep answers snappy, keep consent front and center, and don’t be afraid to explain your choice – the “why” is where the comedy lives.

Here’s a pro move: alternate who asks first so nobody dominates, and toss in lightning rounds where responses have to be instant. Want more suspense? Let players predict the other person’s pick, then reveal at the same time. The wilder the contrast, the bigger the laugh. You’ll learn quirks, uncover unexpected tastes, and build inside jokes along the way. Use the sections below as flexible decks – savory or silly, sultry or sweet – and watch your hangout crackle with energy.

Bedroom Either-Ors

Start hot – or at least warm – with picks that are cheeky without getting too graphic. Keep things playful, respect boundaries, and remember: the goal is connection and chuckles. If a question doesn’t land, skip it and keep the rhythm. As with any this or that , a confident one-word answer can be fun, but adding a sly reason doubles the laughs.

How to Keep the Game Rolling

Timing matters. Begin with lighter categories, then escalate to flirty or outrageous when the room loosens up. If you’re on a date, drop a single saucy prompt, pivot to a food pick, then sail into a few everyday choices. If you’re playing with friends, cut the deck into three piles – gentle, spicy, silly – and let players draw a card from any pile. The blend keeps energy high and makes every this or that feel fresh.

Try variations for extra fun: one-word answers only; explain your choice in five seconds; or answer on behalf of someone else, then see if you were right. Create mini-bets – loser grabs snacks, winner chooses the playlist – to keep stakes playful but harmless. If you’re in a relationship, treat it like a micro-date: light a candle, pour drinks, and cycle through ten prompts from each section. The rhythm becomes its own flirtation.

Conversation Tips for Maximum Laughs

Stay curious rather than judgmental – nothing chills the mood faster than mocking someone’s pick. Echo funny phrasing, punctuate with a dramatic gasp, and don’t be afraid of silence after a surprising answer; that beat often sets up the next joke. When you hear a genuinely personal reveal, offer one of your own. Reciprocity is key in any this or that exchange, because mutual vulnerability builds trust and keeps the game buoyant.

If you’re hosting, prep a shortlist that matches your crowd. Family hangout? Skip the bedroom deck and lean into food and absurdity. Bachelorette or bachelor party? Open with foodie fun, escalate into flirty territory, then finish with ridiculous dilemmas to cool things off. Online hangout? Toss prompts into the chat and answer rapid-fire. The flexibility is the point – the format bends to the moment.

Why This Format Works

Binary choices are a friendly constraint. They simplify decisions, remove analysis paralysis, and invite instinct. Because this or that asks for a gut pick rather than a paragraph, it dodges the pressure of perfect storytelling and invites play. Even shy people tend to relax – especially when the questions are funny, a little weird, or tasty to imagine. Every answer hints at values: comfort vs. novelty, tradition vs. experimentation, routine vs. surprise. Those micro-insights create fast familiarity.

It also scales. Two people can volley questions between sips of coffee. A crowded living room can shout options in chorus. A long car ride can use the lists as checkpoint games – pull one from each category at every rest stop. However you adapt it, keep the heartbeat of this or that intact: quick choices, quick laughs, quick pivots.

Wrap-Up With a Smile

From playful pillow talk to pizza-vs-sushi quarrels to debates about giant ducks – these prompts exist to break ice and spark joy. If you found paths you don’t want to explore, that’s useful information; if you discovered shared tastes, even better. Save your favorites, remix them, and bring them out the next time conversation needs a nudge. With this or that in your back pocket, silence never stands a chance.
