What's in this template
One question and two options, ready to run. Swap in your own pairing or keep the classic — the format matters more than the specific question.
Why two options work better than open questions
Nobody has to think of an answer
Open-ended icebreakers put people on the spot. A binary choice takes no preparation, so participation is near-total instead of the usual three extroverts.
The split is the conversation
A 50/50 result generates more discussion than a unanimous one. Pick pairings where you genuinely can't predict the outcome.
It's fast enough to actually use
Twenty seconds to set up, ten seconds to answer. You can run one at the top of a call without touching the agenda.
It scales to any group
Six people or six hundred, everyone answers at once and nobody waits their turn.
Run one in three steps
Pick your pairing
Keep the default or write your own. The best ones are genuinely close to even — a lopsided result is a dud.
