No good answer.

Twenty dilemmas about work that has nothing to do with your actual work. Everybody votes at once and the split is the interesting part.

✦ Why it works

The split says more than the answer.

A good would-you-rather does not have a right answer, it has a fault line. Four ten-hour days against five six-hour days sounds like scheduling and is actually a question about what people want their evenings to be.

Because everybody votes before anybody sees the tally, nobody drifts toward the popular option. A 50-50 split on something you assumed was obvious is the most useful thing this produces, and it comes up more than you would think.

✦ Worth knowing

Safe enough to run with your own team.

Nothing here asks anybody to criticise a colleague, a manager or the company. The dilemmas are hypothetical and slightly absurd on purpose, so the interesting disagreements happen without anybody having to be brave.

It works particularly well with a new starter in the room, because it gives everybody something to have an opinion about that is not their job.

✦ How to play

Three steps, and none of them is signing up.

1
Start and share

Choose the number of rounds, press start, send the link to the call or the chat.

2
Everyone picks

Two large buttons, one tap. Nobody sees anybody else's choice until the last vote is in.

3
Argue about it

The split appears, and the round after it is where the actual conversation happens. Do not rush.

✦ Questions

Would you rather: work edition, answered.

About ten minutes for eight rounds with a handful of people, and longer if the arguments are good. Set it to fewer rounds if you are wedging it into the top of an existing meeting.
Yes, though it is better with four or more, because the fun is in a split rather than in agreeing or disagreeing. For two people the couples version has questions written for it.
No. You see how many have answered and nothing else until everybody has, at which point the whole split appears at once. Watching a tally build changes how people vote.
Not yet. The prompts come from a fixed pack of twenty, drawn in a different order each time, so playing it again is not the same game twice.

The game is free forever.
The rest of it is the hard part.

EvyOS holds the goals, projects and tasks the team goes back to once the game is over.
