Which project comes first?
Ask everyone to pair them up

A show of hands takes one question at a time. With Matching Poll everyone pairs every item with a match on their phone, and your screen shows the pairing the room agrees on most.

One question, a whole set of pairs

An unscored slide for priorities, roles and opinions, with no points and no leaderboard.

  • Every item gets a match

    On their phone, each person gives every item a different match from a list, then taps Submit.

  • Each match used once

    Picking a match another item already has moves it across and marks it as taken, so no two items share one.

  • The room's pairing, with shares

    Your screen shows the pairing with the most votes combined, with the share of votes on each pair.

  • See where people split

    When two pairings get the same number of votes, the pair is marked Tie, so you know what to talk through.

  • You picked this too

    After submitting, phones show the room's pairing with You picked this too, or the match the person chose instead.

  • من 2 إلى 4 زوجًا

    Name the two columns, up to 30 characters each, and add items and matches of up to 60 characters or an image.

Where a Matching Poll fits

Any question where the answer is a set of pairs, and where there is no right answer.

  • Team priorities

    Pair projects with High, Medium or Low, or tasks with the person who should own them.

  • Ideas and goals

    Ask which idea fits which goal, then talk through the pairs where the room split.

  • الدورات

    Match each challenge with the fix the group thinks works best.

  • الرجعية

    Pair each thing that happened with what the team should do about it.

  • مناقشات الصف

    Pair characters with traits, or terms with examples, then discuss where the class disagreed.

  • Team socials

    Match team members with a superpower, or colleagues with their desk snack.
