How to play

  • The host reads a dilemma out loud: "Would you rather A… or B?"
  • Tap A or B on your phone. Nobody sees your pick until the reveal — you can change it until then.
  • The reveal shows the split (e.g. "68% would rather A") and who picked each side. Time to defend yourself.
  • Majority scoring: land on the bigger side for +100 (a perfect tie gives everyone +50). Minority scoring flips it — the brave few score.
  • Watch for Contrarian rounds: the scoring flips for that one dilemma.
