It can be as challenging as it is fun, since every player has to either answer a probing question truthfully or do something silly or daring. Embarrassment is definitely on the table. But in this game, no one is alone in allowing themselves to be vulnerable. And if a question goes too far for someone, there are always alternatives. The point here is to have fun and to get to know each other better. The best truth or dare questions are those that challenge each player without putting anyone in a compromising position.
How to Play Truth or Dare
The following rules apply to any truth or dare game:
- The player whose turn it is decides to either answer a question (Truth) or perform a task of the questioner’s choosing (Dare).
- If the person chooses “Truth” but refuses to answer the question truthfully, the consequence can be a dare or a task agreed upon by the group.
- If the person chooses “Dare” but then refuses to perform the task, the consequence can be a challenging question. The player must answer it truthfully or receive a penalty the group agrees to.
- If more than two are playing, you can either go around the circle or spin a bottle to select the next player.
- Everyone should get a turn before the game ends.
