How to Play Truth or Dare: Quick Rules

Before we get into the questions, let’s do a quick refresher on how the game works:

1. Form a circle: Sit or stand with all players in a circle
2. Choose a starting player: Pick someone to start (youngest person, person who most recently traveled — whatever works)
3. The pattern: The player looks at someone and says “Truth or Dare?”
4. They choose: The selected person says either “Truth” or “Dare”
5. You ask: Based on their choice, ask them one of your questions or challenge them to one of your dares
6. They complete it: If they refuse, they face a penalty (decided by the group — could be a dare, a point loss, whatever you set)
7. Clockwise continues: The person who just answered now asks the next person

Pro tip: Set clear ground rules before you start — decide on penalty for refusing, what’s off-limits, and whether players can pick their own truth or dare from a prepared list or if the asker decides.

• Make it personal: Customize questions to the group — inside jokes, shared experiences, common knowledge
