How to play

1. Name two options: tea or coffee, mountains or sea, early bird or night owl.
2. People show their answer instantly — move to one side of the room, raise a hand, or react in chat.
3. Do not let anyone explain. Speed is what makes it work.
4. Run fifteen to twenty rounds, then stop while it is still fun.

Variations

• Every fifth round, pause and let one person defend an unpopular answer.
• Let the group supply the pairs once they have the rhythm.
