How to play this or that

The simplest version is one person asks and everyone answers. For a better game, ask everyone to write their choice secretly, then reveal together. If you are playing with close friends, guess each person's answer before they reveal it. Every wrong guess can become a funny explanation.

You can also use this list to build quizzes. Each answer can point toward a personality type: adventurous, romantic, practical, dreamy, social, or relaxed.
