This or that questions work as icebreakers because there is no wrong answer and every answer takes two seconds. The fun part is the guessing: most people are surprised by how the room actually splits.
Questions people ask
What are good this or that questions for work?
The best ones are quick, have no right answer, and split a room roughly in half: coffee or tea, early bird or night owl, camera on or off, meetings or email. Avoid anything about politics, religion, salary or appearance.
How do you play this or that at a team meeting?
Read a question, have everyone pick a side, then reveal the split. On HTruths each person also guesses what share of the team picked the same answer, which makes even a simple question into a game.
Can I play these on Zoom or Teams?
Yes. Tap Play on any question to create a free poll, then paste the link or show the QR code in the meeting. Everyone votes from their own phone or laptop, with no sign-up.
