Frequently asked questions
How do we run a proper food debate?
Read the question, everyone declares a side instantly, then defenses get thirty seconds each. No abstaining — 'I like both' is a coward's answer and the table knows it.
Are these debates family-friendly?
Completely. The only casualties are opinions. It works at dinner tables, office lunches, and family gatherings where a safe controversy is exactly what's needed.
Can two people play?
That's the best version — especially with our foodie compatibility test, which asks you both 15 food questions separately and reveals your match percentage at the end.
