When the Would You Rather Generator seems to misbehave, the cause is usually one of two things: something stopped the tool from running, or it ran but the result is not usable. This guide starts with the fastest checks, then walks through the common problems and exact fixes.
Quick Checks First
- Refresh the page - a stalled session is the most common cause of nothing happening.
- Confirm the input is not empty and actually contains what you meant to submit.
- Try the smallest possible input; if that works, the issue is size, not the tool.
- Turn off browser extensions that block scripts, then reload and test again.
- Update or switch browsers if the problem repeats across sessions.
Common Problems and How to Fix Them
The dilemma does not match my theme.
Switch the pack before drawing - each theme pulls only from its own pair list.
Everyone already knows the answer.
Draw the next pair - each round is a fresh pick, so keep the pace moving through the pack.
My custom pair never shows.
Add the pair before drawing, and check that the custom option is turned on so it joins the pool.
The options feel uneven.
Some pairs are meant to be lopsided for laughs - try a different difficulty setting for more balanced picks.
Two people want a rematch.
Redraw for a new pair rather than re-arguing the same one - the generator holds plenty more.
I cannot capture our answers.
Copy the pair into your chat or notes before drawing the next, since nothing is saved.
When It Works but the Output Is Poor
If the tool runs fine but the result misses, the problem is almost always the brief, not the software:
- Stacking custom pairs with the wrong theme
- Skipping before everyone answers
- Taking a silly dilemma too seriously
- Mixing difficulty levels mid round
How to Stop It Happening Next Time
- Keep a saved prompt template for every task you repeat.
- Change one setting per generation so causes stay obvious.
- Run a two-minute sanity test with known input after any update.
- Note every failure and its fix; a short troubleshooting log pays for itself.
Still Stuck?
Reproduce the problem with the smallest possible input and note the exact steps that triggered it. A one-line description of what you did, what you expected and what happened is enough to get a precise answer from support or a colleague.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many dilemmas are included?
Each themed pack holds many pairs, and you can add your own to keep the game going as long as you like.
Can we add our own dilemmas?
Yes - type a custom pair and it joins the pool for the session so the next draw can land on it.
Is there a right answer?
No - the pairs are built to spark debate, so the fun is in hearing why each person picks their side.
Are our custom pairs stored?
No - they stay in the page for the session only and are not uploaded anywhere.
