The quickest and easiest way to start a meaningful conversation with a total stranger is by using the right conversation starters. This or that questions game is an excellent example of this.
Unlike great question games we have covered so far, this or that questions have a unique approach when it comes to questions games that makes it different. And therefore, ideal for many situations, especially when the general atmosphere is tensed.
A good set of this or that questions a great place to get the conversation started. The questions narrow down responses to only one of the two options given.
And therefore, it can be played by friends, among family members, between two in a relationship or with a crush you really are looking forward to winning their hearts.
You can either text with your soulmate, play the drinking or cards version of this or that questions with your buddies in your free time.
You can also play and have fun playing it by yourself gauging the options that make the most sense to your lifestyle, opening a pandra box of the things you probably never noticed bout yourself in a more philosophical approach; for instance, Mom or Dad?
