1. Build the shortlist
Start a room and add the games or restaurants the group would realistically accept. This keeps the vote grounded in real options instead of fantasy choices nobody will actually pick.
How It Works
Tideman voting, but usable for actual groups
LetsDecide.games turns a messy group decision into a structured voting flow. The idea is simple: build a shortlist, let every player rank it, then compute the result with the Tideman method.
2. Share one room link
Everyone joins the same room, enters a name, and sees the same candidate list. There is no account wall for casual groups.
3. Collect ranked ballots
Each participant ranks every option from best to worst. That gives the system more information than a single favorite vote and reduces the damage from vote splitting.
4. End the vote and review the result
When the room is ready, the admin ends voting and the app computes the strongest outcome. That makes the final decision easier to defend than a simple popularity snapshot.
Why groups like this flow
The biggest failure mode in a normal poll is that similar options split support. Two co-op shooters or three pizza places can cannibalize each other while a weaker but more concentrated option wins.
LetsDecide.games uses ranked ballots plus Tideman pairwise logic, which gives the group a better way to compare overlapping preferences. It is especially useful when everyone is flexible, but nobody wants to waste time arguing through the shortlist.
Where it fits best
- Game nights with multiple good options
- Discord servers choosing a multiplayer title
- Friend groups deciding dinner or takeout
- Any shortlist where similar options would otherwise split support
