This or That Questions: 19 Printable Game Sets for Every Party

This is the full shelf of this or that games I’ve put together, each one built the same way: pairs sorted into rounds, read aloud or dealt as cards, with a printable deck waiting at the other end. Some are general enough for any room, others are built for one specific crowd or one specific night.

What decides which one you grab is mostly who’s in the room and what you want the game to do. A classroom or road trip wants the big general set. A bridal shower or Christmas table wants the themed one. A group that already knows each other wants the deeper or funnier rounds, not the beginner pairs.

This page is for whoever searched this or that questions and needs to pick one set in the next two minutes, not read nineteen articles to get there.

The Big Starter Set for Any Group

Read the full guide120 This or That Questions for Quick Fun

This is the all-purpose set, the one to reach for when you don’t know yet what kind of night it’s going to be. It works for a classroom, a long car ride, or a party where half the guests are strangers, because the pairs stay light and nobody needs context to answer.

There are 120 questions split across 5 separate themes, so you can run one theme for a quick round or mix several for a longer game. Free printable cards come with it, which makes it easy to hand a stack to a backseat or a group table and let them run it themselves.

A Scored Game With Real Rules

Read the full guide84 This or That Pairs With the Rules and Scoring Explained

This one turns this or that from a casual icebreaker into an actual game with a winner. It suits a party where people want structure, teams, and a reason to argue over an answer, rather than just a string of quick questions to pass the time.

It covers 84 pairs across six rounds, with rules and a scoring system laid out so you’re not inventing them mid-game. Printable card decks are included for each round, so a host can print, deal, and start keeping score within a few minutes.

Fast Rounds With No Prep

Read the full guide84 This or That Questions Where Everyone Answers in Two Seconds

This set is built for speed over structure. There’s no scoring, no teams, just one pair read aloud and the room splitting instantly, which makes it the one to use when you want constant motion rather than a game with winners and losers.

It’s 84 questions organized into 7 rounds, with free printable cards for each. A host reads a pair, the group answers in about two seconds, and the next one comes straight after, so there’s very little setup between rounds.

New Pairs Your Group Hasn’t Heard

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs That Are Not the Same Twenty

This is the set for a group that has already played a round or two of this or that elsewhere and wants pairs they haven’t seen before. It fits a repeat game night rather than a first-time icebreaker, since the questions assume people are ready for less obvious choices.

There are 72 pairs spread over 6 rounds, each one sorted so the familiar categories don’t repeat what’s already been asked. Printable card sheets come with every round, ready to print as a fresh deck for the next get-together.

Questions Built for Young Kids

Read the full guide72 This or That Questions for Children Who Answer Instantly

This set is written at a kid’s level, short pairs about things they already have opinions on, which makes it the right pick for a birthday party, a classroom, or a car full of children rather than a mixed-age crowd.

It’s 72 questions sorted into six rounds, meant to be read aloud rather than handed over to read themselves. Printable cards are included, and the excerpt notes you’ll see every child pick a side fast, with little explaining needed before they answer.

A Teen-Friendly Icebreaker Set

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs for a Room of Teenagers

This one is pitched at teenagers specifically, pairs that don’t feel babyish or try too hard to be cool, which makes it a better fit for a youth group or a teen birthday than the kids’ set or the general starter set.

There are 72 pairs across six rounds, meant to be played by having everyone move to one side of the room for their answer rather than just calling it out. Printable card decks come with it, and the excerpt is specific that it’s built to avoid cringe.

Questions for a First Date or Meeting

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs for a First Conversation

This set is for the exact moment two people or a small new group are trying to get past small talk. It’s built around first conversations specifically, so it fits a first date, a new roommate, or a new work pairing better than a party icebreaker meant for a crowd.

It’s 72 pairs sorted into six rounds that escalate, meaning the early rounds stay light and the later ones go a little further. Printable card decks are included for each round, so there’s a deck ready whether you’re using round one or round six.

Light Questions for Strangers in a Room

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs for a Room That Has Just Met

This is the icebreaker set for a group, not a pair, when most people in the room have just met. It stays lighter than the get-to-know-someone set above since it’s built for a crowd rather than one conversation.

There are 72 pairs across six escalating rounds, moving from easy openers to slightly bigger questions as the game goes on. Printable card sheets come with every round, which the excerpt calls a solid icebreaker for any group, regardless of how well they know each other going in.

A Game to Test How Well You Know Someone

Read the full guide84 This or That Pairs to Test How Well People Know Each Other

This set turns this or that into a guessing game between two people, where one answers and the other predicts the answer, which makes it suit couples, best friends, or siblings rather than a room of new acquaintances.

It’s 84 pairs sorted into six rounds, built specifically to test how well you know the other player rather than just collecting individual answers. Printable card sheets are included for every round, ready to run as a head-to-head game rather than a group pass-around.

Pairs That Sort People by Type

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs That Sort a Room Into Types

This set is less about fun answers and more about what the answers reveal, pairs chosen to show how people actually think rather than just what they like. It fits a group curious about personality more than a straightforward party icebreaker.

There are 72 pairs across 5 rounds, each built around a different angle on how people make choices. Printable cards are included, and the excerpt is clear the point is letting the room split and then noticing the pattern in who lands where.

Questions That Point to the Right Gift

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs That Tell You What to Buy Someone

This one has a practical use beyond the game itself: it’s meant to tell you what to buy someone. It suits anyone stuck on a gift for a partner, friend, or family member, which makes it a different kind of entry from the purely social ones on this page.

It covers 72 pairs across 6 rounds, and the idea is to play it, then read back through the answers to narrow down an actual gift. Free printable cards are included, so the game doubles as a planning tool once it’s done.

Pairs That Dig Deeper Than Small Talk

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs That Reveal More Than They Should

This set pushes past the light pairs and into questions meant to reveal more than people expect to share, which makes it suit a close group, a long car ride, or a late-night conversation rather than a first meeting.

There are 72 pairs across 6 rounds that escalate as you go, so the early questions stay manageable and the later ones ask for more. Printable card decks are included for each round, dealt out so the game builds rather than staying flat the whole time.

Funny Pairs for an Adult Party

Read the full guide72 Funny This or That Pairs That Get an Argument Started

This set is built to get an argument going, not a deep one, just the kind of back-and-forth that makes an adult party night louder. It fits a grown-up gathering better than a classroom or kid’s party, since the humor assumes an adult crowd.

It’s 72 pairs across six rounds, with the excerpt promising zero boring pairs among them. Free printable cards come with it, ready to print for a game night where the point is laughing at the choices more than analyzing them.

A Girls Night In Round

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs for a Girls Night In

This set is aimed squarely at a girls night in, pairs chosen for that specific setting rather than a mixed party or a general icebreaker, which makes it a better fit for a close group of women than the broader funny or spicy sets.

There are 72 pairs sorted into six escalating rounds, so the night can start easy and get more personal as it goes. Printable card sheets are included for every round, ready to print ahead of the night rather than put together on the spot.

Bold Pairs for Grown-Ups Only

Read the full guide72 Bold This or That Pairs for Adults Only

This is the adults-only set, pairs that go further than the funny or girls-night options, meant for a crowd that specifically wants bold questions rather than a general party game. It’s not the pick for a mixed-age or first-meeting group.

It covers 72 pairs across 6 escalating rounds, building from milder questions to bolder ones as the game goes on. Free printable card sheets are included for every round, described in the excerpt as fitting any grown-up night rather than one particular occasion.

Pairs Made for a Poll Sticker

Read the full guide72 This or That Pairs Built for an Instagram Story Poll

This set is written for sharing rather than playing in person, pairs short enough to drop straight into an Instagram Story poll sticker. It suits anyone building content for an account rather than hosting people in a room.

There are 72 pairs organized into six themed rounds, each balanced so both sides of the poll feel like a real choice rather than one obvious answer. Printable card sheets are included too, so the same questions work on-screen or on paper.

A Bridal Shower Guessing Game

Read the full guide84 This or That Pairs for a Bridal Shower Guessing Game

This set is built around one specific moment: guessing what the bride herself chose. It suits a bridal shower or engagement party rather than a general game night, since every pair is written with the bride-to-be as the reference point.

It’s 84 pairs split into 6 scored rounds, so guests compete to match the bride’s actual answers rather than just picking their own favorite. Free printable card sheets are included for every round, ready to hand out at the shower itself.

Halloween Rounds for Party or Classroom

Read the full guide72 Halloween This or That Pairs for a Party or a Classroom

This set swaps the general pairs for Halloween-themed ones, which makes it the pick for an October party or classroom rather than a year-round game night. It works across a mixed-age crowd, so it doesn’t need separate kid and adult versions.

There are 72 pairs sorted by round, with free printable card sheets included for each one. The excerpt notes it fits a classroom, a party, or any mixed-age crowd equally well, which is unusual among the themed sets on this page.

Christmas Rounds for the Family Table

Read the full guide72 Christmas This or That Pairs for the Family Table

This is the holiday table set, built for the whole family rather than one age group or one kind of friend group, which makes it the pick for Christmas dinner or a family gathering rather than a party with just adults or just kids.

It’s 72 pairs sorted into 6 festive rounds, written so grandparents and kids can both answer without anyone needing extra explanation. Printable card sheets are included for every round, ready to print before the family sits down.
