Getting more out of this or that
This or that is about as quick as a party game gets: two options, one choice, no explanation needed. That speed makes it useful as a warm up before longer games, a filler during car rides or a two minute opener at work.
To add depth, ask a follow up after every few pairs. Why mountains over beaches? What would change your mind? Short follow ups turn a fast game into real conversation without losing its easy feel. Couples can keep score of matching answers, while friends might enjoy guessing what each other will pick before they say it.
Choose the list that fits your setting. The funny list suits kids and mixed ages. The adults list covers grown up habits and choices for dinner parties. The work list stays neutral for teams, and the couples list is built around shared routines and plans.

How do you use this or that as an icebreaker?
Read a pair out loud and ask everyone to point to one side of the room or shout their answer. Ask one or two people to explain their pick. It takes seconds per round and quickly gets quiet groups talking and laughing.
How is this or that different from would you rather?
This or that is about quick preferences between two familiar things. Would you rather usually describes bigger imaginary situations that need more thought. This or that suits fast rounds, while would you rather sparks longer debates and stories.
