The wonderfully hypothetical
Would you rather.
Pick one of two imagined possibilities. The interesting part is the reason that comes after.
Would you rather have a pocket-sized garden or a window with a new view every morning?

Easy to start. Easy to make your own.
A good way to play
Unlike a quick preference round, Would You Rather asks you to imagine a situation. Read both choices, give everyone a quiet moment, then invite a choice and an optional reason. There are no correct answers and no winner.
- Pick a reader and a setting. Read both possibilities before anyone chooses.
- Choose A or B, or pass. Invite one short reason from anyone who wants to share.
- Move to a new card. Change readers every few cards so everyone can join in.
For a group reveal, ask everyone who wants to join to show one or two fingers at the same time. The screen records only the current device's choices, not a group vote.
