Random This or That Generator

Generate a random 'this or that' choice, from food and lifestyle to silly and hard picks, for a fast icebreaker or party game.

About this generator

This generator draws from 90 quick 'this or that' either/or choices grouped by theme -- Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Entertainment, Travel, Silly & Random, and Hard Choices. Everyone just picks a side.

Every result here is drawn using crypto.getRandomValues() -- the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure randomness -- instead of Math.random(), so it's genuinely unpredictable, not just statistically random. Learn more.

What people use it for

A fast icebreaker for parties, classrooms, first dates, and team warm-ups -- read the pair aloud and have everyone choose. It's a low-pressure way to get a group talking and spark debate.

How it works

Generate draws one either/or at random from the pool using the site's cryptographically secure randomness, guaranteed not to repeat whatever result is currently showing in single-result mode. Filtering by theme narrows the pool before drawing.

What's inside

A sample of what this generator can draw, spread evenly across the full list:

Common questions

Can I filter by theme?

Yes -- use the filter button to pick one or more of the six themes. Generate will then only draw from choices in the ones you've selected.

What's the difference from Would You Rather?

This or That is a fast, simple either/or (Coffee or tea?); Would You Rather poses fuller, often tougher hypothetical dilemmas.

Will it show me the same choice twice in a row?

Not in single-result mode -- each new roll is guaranteed to differ from the one currently on screen.

Can I generate several at once?

Yes -- use the amount control to draw a batch for a whole round.
