Fun
What’s your most toxic trait?
Going out and partying your face off has its time and place, but sitting down with your closest buddies (or even a freshly acquainted flock) and playing some wholesome-adjacent party games just hits different. Of course, there’s the OG Cards Against Humanity and the like, or, you could throw it way back and keep it way simple with a saucy little game of Truth or Dare.
No cards required, just your twisted mind and Twisted Teas (the latter, of course, is optional). The best Truth or Dare questions will make players squirm no matter which option they choose.
Typically, in this classic game, the group will go around clockwise in a circle and the batting player chooses between Truth, wherein they must answer a particularly revealing, embarrassing, or silly question, or Dare — a task equally as goofy, shocking, or humbling. If you’re playing with adult beverages, a refusal to answer or act (or unsatisfactory performance) is penalized by a drink or maybe even a shot — house rules decide.
Whether you’re spicing up a GNI or throwing down games night at your local bar, there’s nothing more delightfully chaotic than a juicy game of Truth or Dare. However, as anyone who frequented the game as a teen can attest, coming up with the actual truths and dares with which to task your friends can kind of put you on the spot. Taking too long to brainstorm can throw a wet blanket on the fun.
Looking for ideas? You’ve come to the right place. Here are some of the best Truth or Dare questions to get you started on your juiciest game night yet.
