About this would you rather
Would You Rather presents a sequence of A-vs-B dilemmas where each choice is interesting on its own — "Be able to fly" or "Be invisible whenever you want", "Live without music" or "Live without movies", and so on. The tool ships with 40 questions covering superpowers, lifestyle, food, and ethics. There is no right answer; the point is to surface preferences you might not otherwise articulate. The deck is shuffled fresh on every page load and every Restart so the same question rarely shows up at the same point.
Mechanically, the bundled list lives in lib/data/would-you-rather.ts and is shuffled with Fisher–Yates. Each click records whether you picked A or B, then advances. When the deck is exhausted the result panel renders your choices in order with both options shown — that way you can re-read what you turned down, which is often more telling than what you picked.
Worked example: a freshly shuffled deck starts with "Would you rather be able to fly OR be invisible whenever you want?". You tap Option A (Be able to fly). Next: "Would you rather read minds OR predict the future one day ahead?" — you tap Option B (Predict the future). After all 40 the result panel reads "1. Be able to fly (over: Be invisible whenever you want), 2. Predict the future one day ahead (over: Read minds), …". Copying the list and pasting it into a notes app gives you a portable record of your picks for the round.
FAQ
- How many dilemmas are in the deck?
- Forty bundled would-you-rather questions, all committed to the repo. The deck is reshuffled on every page load and every Restart.
- Can I add my own questions?
- Not from the UI. The list lives in lib/data/would-you-rather.ts. Forking the repo and editing that file is the supported way to add or replace questions.
- Why does the result panel show what I rejected?
- Sometimes the option you turned down is more revealing than the one you picked. The "over: …" line makes that easy to scan at the end.
- Does the game keep score?
- No — there are no points and no right answers. The counter only tracks progress through the deck.
- Are my picks shared?
- No. Everything runs in your browser and your picks live only in memory until you refresh or press Restart. Copy Picks is the way to keep a record.
- Can I navigate with the keyboard?
- Yes. Tab moves between the two option buttons, Enter triggers the form submit (Option A) for fast players, and Space activates the focused button.
