How it works

  1. Pick one or more topics on the random card, or leave them all on.

  3. Copy the pair, download a Story image, or open it as a poll template.

Questions and answers

What are good this or that questions for Instagram?

Pairs people can answer with one tap work best, like "Beach or mountains?" or "Coffee or tea?". Post one per Story with a poll sticker. The this or that template maker makes the Story image for you.

How do you play this or that?

Read a pair out loud and everyone picks one side. Ask people why they picked it for a longer chat, or count the votes to see which side wins.

Can I use these questions on a business account?

Yes. The "For brands and small businesses" topic has pairs about products, offers and launches, such as "Gift card or product bundle?". The answers give you quick feedback from your followers.

How does the random picker work?

It shuffles the questions in the topics you picked and shows them one at a time, so nothing repeats until you have seen them all. Press Start over to shuffle again.

How do I run a this or that tournament?

Pick 8 or 16 options and put them in the bracket maker. Your followers vote on each match until one winner is left.

Are these questions free to use?

Yes. Use them in posts, Stories, lives, classrooms or at parties. There is no sign-up.
