Post these templates as regular discussion starters, in daily or weekly threads, or as part of special events. Encourage members to explain their choices and tag friends to join the debate. Consider pinning a Would You Rather thread to keep the conversation going or using polls to make participation even easier. Adapt the timing and frequency based on your community's activity to keep things fresh and engaging.
These templates work on all platforms. For chat-based communities, post a question and encourage rapid-fire responses. On forums or social media, create threads or use polls for easy participation. Adapt language slightly to match your platform's tone and formatting.
You can customize the templates to feature hot-button gaming topics such as monetization models, e.g., 'Would you rather unlock skins through loot boxes or via a seasonal battle pass?' This not only encourages passionate discussion but also helps your community share their preferences and experiences regarding popular game mechanics.
For maximum engagement, mix both! Use templates to pit iconic franchises against each other for nostalgia, and tailor others to current popular titles or recent releases discussed in your community. This keeps discussions fresh and relevant to your members’ gaming interests.
Frame questions to be playful and open-ended, emphasizing personal preferences rather than 'right vs. wrong.' For example: 'Would you rather experience your favorite game in 4K on PlayStation or with Game Pass perks on Xbox?' Monitor responses closely and set clear community guidelines about respectful discourse.
Absolutely! Adapt templates to create scenarios such as 'Would you rather always play as a paragon or renegade in RPGs?' This taps into popular game design elements and provokes thoughtful discussion about player decision-making and roleplay styles.
Design scenarios that encompass both platforms, like 'Would you rather dominate in a mobile battle royale or a PC-based MOBA?' Avoid niche references that only apply to one gaming segment, ensuring all community members feel included regardless of their primary device.
Integrate current gaming events into your scenarios, such as 'Would you rather explore the new Halloween event in Destiny 2 or Fortnite?' This leverages the current hype and keeps your community excited about live content, simultaneously encouraging members to share tips and coordinate in-game activities.
