100 This or That Questions (Play Them Online Free)
This or That is a quick choice game: you get two options, pick the one you like more, and talk about why. Below are 100 This or That questions in five packs (everyday, date night, travel, food and dreams). You can read them out loud, or play them free on GameLake with a friend or partner, on one phone or online.
How This or That works
There is nothing to win in the classic game: one person asks "tea or coffee?", the other answers, and the fun is in the little arguments and stories that follow. In the GameLake version there is a twist that makes it a game for two: each of you picks, then guesses what the other one picked. You score a point for every correct guess.
Ask "why?" after every answer. The question is the excuse; the reason behind it is the point.

Frequently asked questions
What are good This or That questions?
Good This or That questions give two options that are both appealing, so there is no obvious answer: tea or coffee, beach or city, flying or invisible. The best ones are easy to answer in a second and easy to explain for a minute.
What are fun This or That questions for couples?
Pick from the date night pack above: dinner out or cooking together, stargazing or city lights, a picnic or a candlelit dinner. After each answer ask your partner why.
Can you play This or That online?
Yes. On GameLake you can play This or That free on one phone, with a daily set of five, or online with a link so you can play from different places. Nobody needs an account.
How many This or That questions are there on GameLake?
100 questions in five packs (everyday, date night, travel, food and dreams), with a different set every day in the Daily 5. More packs are added over time.
Is there a score in This or That?
In the classic game there is none. In the GameLake version you pick, then guess your partner's pick, and each correct guess is a point. A low score is not a bad result: it only means there is more to find out about each other.
What are some This or That questions for adults?
Everything in the date night, travel and dreams packs works well for adults, especially the dreams questions such as retiring early or working on a passion forever.
