To use these templates, simply copy and paste a question into your community's discussion board, group, or social feed.

Would You Rather templates work across all platforms. On forums and Facebook Groups, post as a text thread and encourage replies with reasoning.

To engage a diverse collectibles group, include scenarios that span multiple eras, such as 'Would you rather discover a mint-condition 1950s action figure or a limited-edition Funko Pop from this year?' This encourages discussion across generations and helps bridge gaps between members with different collecting focuses.
Incorporate industry-specific dilemmas, for example: 'Would you rather own a rare card graded PSA 7 or a more common card graded PSA 10?' or 'Would you rather have an authenticated but damaged collectible or a pristine one with questionable provenance?' These scenarios resonate with collectors’ real-world decision-making.
If your group is niche-specific, use detailed references: 'Would you rather complete a Morgan silver dollar set or own a single ultra-rare error coin?' For mixed communities, alternate between niche and broader questions to maintain inclusivity while still showcasing expertise.
Pose questions reflecting real collector challenges, such as: 'Would you rather downsize your collection to free up space or rent a secure offsite storage unit to keep expanding?' This sparks practical discussions and helps members share tips and solutions.
Blend traditional and modern collecting scenarios, for example: 'Would you rather own a rare physical Pokémon card or a unique NFT collectible from the same franchise?' This encourages dialogue about changing trends and helps traditional collectors explore new domains.
Frame questions that invite knowledgeable responses, like: 'Would you rather restore a damaged but rare vintage toy yourself, or pay an expert to do it?' This not only sparks conversation around restoration best practices but also allows members to showcase their skills and experience.
