Whether you’re looking for a fun group activity or just a way to pass the time, a classic game of truth or dare is the perfect way to get to know your best friends better. Whether you prefer deep, introspective questions or daring antics, your playing style can reveal a lot about you. (Anyone else on Team Truth? Same here.)
We’ve rounded up the best score or dangerous questions and ideas that will keep things interesting (you can also check out other game ideas or even try a truth or dare generator if you’re feeling really daring). Whether you’re at a sleepover with your besties or taking a road trip, this iconic game is an ideal choice for endless entertainment. And the best part? No consoles or playing cards required.
And, just in case you need a refresher on the rules, we’ve got you covered there, too: Simply form a circle and ask players if they prefer truth or dare questions (you’ll find plenty of both below), and don’t forget to set the appropriate “punishment” for players who choose to pass their turn. Of course, it’s best not to push things too hard—being able to skip a round in exchange for having to grab a snack as a group is a win-win situation that keeps things light and fun for everyone.
