If you could ask the world one question...

Read the Room is a place to ask questions you’re genuinely curious about — practical, philosophical, uncomfortable, or strange. The most engaged question each day becomes the Question of the Day.

See patterns, not arguments

Instead of threads and debates, you see distributions. Compare how answers differ by region, and notice where perspectives align or diverge relative to you.

What this is (and isn’t)

Built to surface perspective, not performance. A social polling game and a global conversation tool.

The ultimate gauge of public sentiment. This app could be the next big thing. I can picture news organizations citing "RTR reports that 90% of people surveyed think ___"

Great idea for a social media app! Thought provoking questions and interesting comparison of opinions without the rubbish of social media comments, trolls and divisive billionaires stealing our time, attention and data. I'm sold!
