Party game
How to play truth or dare
Truth or dare is a party game for 2 or more players. On your turn you choose truth, and answer a personal question honestly, or dare, and do a challenge the group sets or reads from a card. Then the turn passes on. There is no winner; the fun is in the answers.
- 2 or more players
- as long as you like
- The app's cards are written for 12 and up
How to play
You need: a list of questions and dares, or one phone.
- Sit in a circle and agree on house rules: what is off limits and how skipping works.
- The first player chooses truth or dare.
- Read the next truth question or dare. Answer honestly, or do the dare.
- Pass the turn to the left and keep going as long as the group is having fun.
Rules
- Anyone may skip a card that feels wrong for the group, with no questions asked.
- Truths must be answered honestly; a dare must be safe for everyone in the room.
- Agree before you start whether you may pick dare twice in a row.
- Nothing that hurts, embarrasses someone outside the room, or breaks things.
Variants
- Truth only
- A quieter version for getting to know people: questions only, no dares.
- Couples
- Two players and questions about each other. Kept sweet, not adult.
- Spin to pick
- Spin a pen or let the app pick who answers next instead of going around.
Tips to play better
- Start mild. Bold cards land better once the group is warmed up.
- Make skipping easy and normal. People answer more openly when they know they can pass.
- Mix truths and dares so nobody sits out for long.
- For mixed ages, stick to the mild cards.
