This or That for 2 to 8 players

This or That, live.
Everyone picks a side, then it reveals.

The problem

One phone passed around kills the game.

Group question games are great until you are all crowded over a single screen. Whoever holds the phone sees every answer, people read ahead, and the quiet ones never get a turn.

Everyone peeksWhen the answers sit on one shared screen, the surprise is gone before the reveal.
One person drivesThe phone holder runs the whole game and everyone else just watches.
The quiet ones skipAnswering out loud in a group means the loudest voices win and the rest stay quiet.
No big revealHalf the fun is everyone showing their answer at once. One shared screen cannot do that.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it free?

Yes. Playing is free and the people you invite never need an account. You can try a sample round with no sign-up, and starting a real game to share takes a free account.

Do I need to download anything?

No. There is nothing to install. You start the game, share one link, and everyone plays right in their phone's browser.

How many people can play This or That?

From 2 to 8 players. You pick the number when you start a This or That game, and it includes you.

Does everyone need the app or an account?

Players do not. They join from your link and play in their browser, with no app and no account. The person who starts the game signs up for a free account.

Can we play over text?

Yes. Share the one link in your group chat or by text, and each person opens it and plays on their own phone.

Can we play if we are not in the same room?

Yes. Players can be anywhere. The game waits until everyone is in, then all the answers reveal together at once.

Can everyone see the answers?

Not until everyone is in. Each answer stays private until every player has tapped in, then they all reveal together.

What if someone does not answer?

The game waits for everyone. If a player drops out, the person who started the game can skip the wait and reveal the answers that are already in.

How do I keep a game I made?

Once your group has played it through, you can save it to your free Cronote account and run it again with your next group.
