TWO SIDES.
ONE MOTION.
the audience decides.

Position · A
PRO

Defend the motion. Open with conviction, rebut if you dare. Win by margin: the bigger the gap, the bigger the points.

"It can be done. Here's why it must."

VS
Position · B
CON

Tear it down. Name the assumption, disarm the obvious objection, find the angle nobody saw. Wit cuts deeper than volume.

"Look closer. The whole thing collapses."

02 · How it plays

FOUR STEPS.
ONE WINNER.

01

SET THE TABLE

3 to 10 players, one phone. Pick turn length, rounds per player, voting mode. Toggle replies and the qualitative verdict if you want them.

02

DRAW A MOTION

The app pulls a topic at random and assigns Pro and Con, favoring whoever has spoken least. No choice, no escape.

03

SPEAK YOUR ROUND

Opening Pro, then opening Con, under the timer. With replies on, each speaker can grab a second turn. Or drop the mic.

04

THE JURY VOTES

Everyone but the speakers picks a side. Optional labels reward insight, punish derailing. Score is published. Next motion loads.

03 · The duel

SAME MOTION.
ONE ATTACKS.
ONE DEFENDS.

Each side gets the same clock and the same screen. The mission is different. Warm orange tension on Pro, cool indigo precision on Con. No ambiguity, no alibi.

Turn timer at 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds. Custom up to 3 minutes.
Four loose prompts to spark the argument. Never a checklist.
Replies are optional. Mic drops earn a bonus. Wasting your second turn costs you.

04 · What’s inside

BUILT FOR
THE TABLE.

Turn timer

FIFTEEN. THIRTY. SIXTY. YOURS.

Generous enough to land an argument, tight enough to keep the table awake. Pick a preset, or set anything from 15 to 180 seconds.

15s 30s 45s 60s Custom
Replies, optional

TWO TURNS, OR FOUR.

With replies on, each speaker can take a second turn to answer. The choice is public: the jury sees who passed. Drop the mic and you get a bonus. Reply and lose? You pay for the second turn.

Replies · ON by default
Qualitative verdict

FOUR LABELS. ONE CONSENSUS.

After the vote, the jury can stamp the round. A label only sticks when a strict majority of jurors agree. From 4 players up. Auto-off at three.

Speaker prompts

FOUR QUESTIONS,
NO CHECKLIST.

  1. What’s really at stake if you’re right?
  2. Got an example your grandma would understand?
  3. Who would push back the hardest? What would they say?
  4. What’s the first objection you’ll hear? Be ready to disarm it.

05 · Scoring

WIN AT
THE MARGIN.

No buckets. No flat points. A single, continuous formula rewards persuading the table, not just sneaking past it. Margin matters: bigger gap, bigger score.

Round score · winning speaker
+1 + margin
Margin = winner votes − loser votes. Each juror who voted for the winner: +1. A clean mic drop after winning: +1 bonus. Replying and losing anyway: −1. Tie? 0 for everyone. The next motion is already loading.

DEBATE PARTY GAME,
EXPLAINED.

Everything worth knowing before the first motion is drawn.

What is WitsAgora?

WitsAgora is a pass-and-play debate party game for 3 to 10 players on a single phone. Two players are drawn as Pro and Con on a random motion, they argue under a timer, and everyone else votes — the bigger the margin, the bigger the score.

How many people can play?

From 3 to 10 players, all sharing one phone. There is no second screen and no online lobby: you pass the phone around the table, which makes it ideal for game nights, dinner parties and road trips.

Is WitsAgora free?

Yes. WitsAgora is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, with no account required and no ads in the middle of a round.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. WitsAgora is a fully offline party game. Once it is installed you can play anywhere — no sign-up, no Wi-Fi and no data needed.

What kind of debate topics are included?

Dozens of motions across light, sharp and absurd registers — from whether cold pizza counts as breakfast to whether social networks should be banned for under-sixteens. The app draws one at random each round, so no two games feel the same.

How is the winner decided?

After both speakers argue, every other player votes for a side. The winning speaker scores +1 plus the vote margin, so persuading the whole table is worth far more than scraping a narrow win. Optional verdict labels reward insight and punish derailing.

What age is WitsAgora for?

It is rated 13+ and works for adults and families alike — at parties, around the dinner table, or as a classroom and debate-club warm-up.

How is it different from card or board debate games?

There is nothing to print, shuffle or lose. WitsAgora is a digital take on the classic party game for people who love to argue: motions, timers, voting and scoring are all handled on one phone, so you can start a round in seconds.
