Frequently asked questions

Can I use my own topic for the dilemmas?

Yes. Type any topic and the AI generates relevant dilemmas on demand. A business English class gets workplace dilemmas; a travel unit gets destination-choice dilemmas.

What if students won't commit to an answer?

The activity requires a choice before the reason can be submitted. This is intentional — the productive struggle of committing to an imperfect option is what generates the most discussion.

Can this be used with beginners?

Yes. The dilemmas are kept concrete and everyday at lower difficulty. Students can submit short justifications and the teacher scaffolds the discussion. The activity generates speaking even from students who rarely volunteer.

Can students vote on any device?

Yes — any phone or tablet with a browser works. Students vote and type their reason on their own device. No download or student account needed.

How many dilemmas are in a round?

A typical session covers 3–5 dilemmas, spending 2–3 minutes per dilemma for voting and discussion. The teacher controls the pace and can skip or repeat dilemmas.

Is Would You Rather free?

Yes, Would You Rather is free to run. Teachers create the session and students join through a browser link — no accounts or downloads required.
