There is a popular “ice-breaker” game, which you can also use to better get to know someone, which rose to popularity among Generation X, and has continued sufficiently to now have its own app on Android phones called, “Would you rather?”

I have also noted, in the play of younger Generation Z participants, and related Tik Tok videos that the choices often take a darker and more dystopian path, with very little optimism about our future, such as, “Would you rather have to live without electricity and your mobile phone, or lose a limb?”
