Would You Rather

Would you rather fly or be invisible? Would you rather talk it out or take some space? Would You Rather gives your client two options, and they choose the one they like best. It's quick, fun, and full of surprises, and the "why" behind each choice often leads to the best conversations.
Kid and teen versions
Would You Rather comes in two versions, one for kids and one for teens. Each version has its own set of age-appropriate categories, so pick the one that fits your client.
Step 1: Choose a category
Pick a category of questions to play. Start with something light and silly to warm up, then try a deeper category when your client is ready.
Step 2: Read the two options
Each screen shows a question with two options side by side. Take a moment to think about each one.
Step 3: Make your choice
Tap the option you'd rather choose. There are no wrong answers!
Step 4: Talk about it
After each choice, ask, "What made you pick that one?" The reasons behind a choice are often more interesting than the choice itself.
Step 5: Keep playing
Move on to the next question and keep going as long as you like. You can switch categories anytime.
Make your own categories
You can create your own categories with questions tailored to your clients. When you add one, choose whether it's available:
- For all your clients, great for questions you'll use again and again.
- For just the client you're playing with, perfect for questions tied to their interests or goals.
Tips for using Would You Rather in session
- Ask "why?" A simple follow-up question turns a quick choice into a real conversation.
- Play along. Share your own answers too. It helps build rapport and models openness.
- Start silly, then go deeper. Light questions help clients warm up before more meaningful topics.
- Notice patterns. Over several questions, your client's choices can reveal what they value, enjoy, or worry about.
- Personalize it. Custom categories built around your client's interests can make the game feel like it was made just for them.
