This or That icebreaker game for teams

This or That

Icebreaker · ⏱ 5 min · 2–100 people

Fast-paced choices that reveal your team's personality — one preference at a time.

What is it?

A series of quick either-or choices — Beach or Mountains? Coffee or Tea? Planner or Improviser? Everyone picks instinctively, no explanations needed. Results are visualized so the group can see where they align and where they split.

When to use it

  • As an icebreaker at the start of a workshop or meeting
  • With new teams to spark conversation without pressure
  • With remote teams — works perfectly async or live on a call

How is this experience built?

  1. A series of This or That slides, each presenting two options

  3. The best moments happen when the split is unexpected
  4. Optionally, a final open-ended slide: “Which result surprised you most?”
