How to play
- Choose a question pack. Mixed draws from the everyday, food, travel, school and work, and superpowers packs. The dating and friends pack only appears when you pick it.
- Press Start and tap one of the two options. On a keyboard, use ← or 1 and → or 2, and fix an answer with Previous question.
- When you finish, press Send to a friend. Your friend answers the same 10 questions without seeing your picks, then sees your match percentage and a question-by-question comparison.
- Your friend can send their own answers back. If you open their link on the device where you already answered those questions, you can compare right away without playing again.
How the match percentage works
It is the number of questions where you both picked the same side, divided by the number of questions. Seven matching answers out of 10 is 70%. There are no overall statistics such as how many people chose each side: SpinPick does not collect answers on a server, so those numbers do not exist, and we do not make them up. Treat the result as a bit of fun.
What is inside the link
The question numbers, your answers and your name, if you entered one, are packed into the part of the link after the # sign. Browsers never send that part to the website, so nothing is stored on SpinPick's server. If the link is cut off or even one character changes, its check value no longer matches and it will not open. Your answers are compressed, not encrypted, so someone determined could decode them before answering.
Playing at parties, in class and for team building
- Parties: put a question on screen and have everyone move to the left or right side of the room. Ask the smaller side for a one-line reason and the ice breaks fast.
- Classes: it makes a good five-minute warm-up. Pick the superpowers or school and work pack and ask students to write one sentence explaining their choice for quick speaking or writing practice. In a language class, use the page in that language.
- Team building: pair people up to swap links, then start with the pairs who matched least and let them explain their different picks. With no right answers, it is an easy way to get to know each other.
- Group chats: post one link and everyone can see how well they match you.
Tips for writing good would-you-rather questions
- Balance the two sides. If one option is clearly better, there is nothing to think about.
- Keep it short and concrete. “Find $10 every day” paints a picture; “be rich” does not.
- Ask about taste, not right and wrong. Questions with a correct answer turn a game into an argument.
- The best questions are either a little bad on both sides (mismatched socks or mismatched shoes) or great on both sides (flying or teleporting).
- Think about who is playing. Leave out looks, bodies, family situations, painful events and real people, anything that could hurt someone. With children, pick a pack other than dating and friends.
