Would You Rather: Work Edition

Live pollRemote or in person

Dilemmas with no comfortable answer.

The same rapid format as This or That, but every question is about working life and every option is slightly awful. It gets more honest conversation out of a room in six minutes than a survey does in a fortnight.

Run this when…

The situations it was built for. If none of these is the room you have, it is probably the wrong activity.

  • Before a session on culture or ways of working
  • A management offsite
  • A retrospective that needs loosening up first

How it runs

Tap one of several options. With an answer marked, the same engine is a quiz.

  1. 1You start a session and put the code on the big screen.
  2. 2Everyone joins on their phone — no app, no sign-up, just the code.
  3. 3You drive the pace from the host screen; the room answers as they go.
  4. 4Ending the session builds the report, with every answer in it.

Running it well

Only the host sees these. Participants never do.

  • Leave anonymity on. Named, people answer as their job title rather than as themselves.
  • "Brilliant and difficult, or fine and easy" is the one worth five minutes. Everything before it is warm-up for that question.

Run it yourself

Free for thirty days, no card. Add it, share the code, and your room is playing in about fifteen seconds.
