The game
What is Pancakes or Waffles?
Paffles is a conversation game built around Pancakes or Waffles. In each of 15 rounds, your group discusses two things, chooses one to keep, and lets the other go. The winner meets a new challenger. You make one shared decision and explain why it matters.
For teams, workshops, and friends
Use it in a team meeting or workshop to make room for different views without a long setup. With friends, a playful question can start a deeper conversation. Two or more people can play, with one person guiding the choices.
Leave with a shared story
After 15 rounds, revisit what your group kept, the choices you let go, and what surprised you. Hearing the reasons behind each choice is the best part.
