What would you do? Hypothetically Speaking turns “what if” questions into conversations. Make your choice, see how other players answered, then challenge a friend to the same questions and find out where you match—or where the debate begins. BUT THERE'S A CATCH Make your choice, then meet the catch: the same options, one new detail. Keep your answer or change your mind, then see how many players changed theirs. WHAT'S YOUR PRICE? Would you give up coffee for a year? Wear a banana costume to work for a month? Pick the lowest offer you'd accept, or refuse them all, and see how other players priced the same deal. Every amount is hypothetical; nothing is bought, sold or paid. PLAYLISTS Save questions into your own playlists for dinner, road trips or game night. Put them in any order and play them back anytime. Playlists stay on your device. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Finish a question or a round and send one friend a private link. They answer the same questions without seeing your choices. Once they finish, you both see every answer side by side and how many you matched. When it comes back, send one in return. No account needed. A NEW SET EVERY WEEK Every week brings five hand-picked questions on a theme, the same set for everyone. Finish it, then send it to a friend. MORE WAYS TO PLAY • More than 1,000 questions across seven categories, from absurd and playful to deep and thoughtful. • The Daily Challenge and Today's Five, with an optional daily reminder. • Compare your choices with community results. • Pass & Reveal with people in the room. • Save favorites and explore your personal stats. • Submit your own hypothetical for review. • Optional playful reminders, four a day, only if you turn them on. No account is required to play. An internet connection is needed to send and complete friend challenges and to load the weekly set for the first time.
