Make the round work.

  1. 01

    How to play This or That online

    Open the generator, choose a category, and read the two options out loud. Players answer by saying their pick, raising hands, voting in chat, or pointing to a side of the screen.

  2. 02

    Play on video calls

    For remote groups, share the CardYard tab or paste each question into the call chat. This or That online works well because every round is short and everyone can answer at once.

  3. 03

    Phones and party rooms

    In the same room, one host can draw prompts on a phone and read them aloud. No app download is required, so new players can join from any browser.

  4. 04

    Would You Rather style rounds

    If the room wants stronger debate, use CardYard's Would You Rather categories. The same generator can create light This or That questions or harder two-choice dilemmas.

  5. 05

    Custom online themes

    Custom themes help This or That online feel specific to birthdays, classrooms, team meetings, trips, fandoms, friend groups, or date nights.
