By the PlaySpinWheel editorial team
This or that questions for adults are the grown-up version of the game: same fast either-or picks, but the prompts lean into dating, oversharing, and the small chaos of adult life. Here are fifty this or that questions for adults, sorted into a party round, funny cringe picks, and a flirty spicy set kept classy.
They're built for game night, a house party, or a bar table, and every one is safe to read out loud. Play them rapid-fire, or load a set onto the wheel.
How do you play this or that as an adult party game?
Same rules, higher stakes for the stories. Read a prompt, everyone answers, and the fun is in defending the pick, why would you text your ex back, exactly? Play it around a table with drinks, use it as a warm-up before a bigger game, or run it as a bar-crawl icebreaker. Let the wheel deal each prompt so the night keeps moving: spin the this or that game.

How do you play this or that as a drinking game?
The bar version is simple: read a prompt, everyone picks a side, and whoever's in the minority takes a sip, water counts, nobody's keeping score. It turns a quiet table into a loud one fast, so play it late and play it kind, and keep a designated spinner if the wheel starts landing sideways.
Reading lists is preparation. The wheel is the party:

Start with the party round to warm everyone up, bring in the funny cringe once the first stories land, and save the spicy set for the crowd that'll still like each other tomorrow. When in doubt, go one set milder. For a smaller, sweeter night, the this or that questions for couples keep it romantic, and the main this or that list has an all-ages food round.
