Would You Rather works because a simple choice reveals priorities. The interesting part is rarely the option itself; it is the reason someone cannot imagine choosing the other one.
Choose a category that fits the group, vote at the same time, and always ask why. If the choices feel impossible, changing one condition is part of the fun.
