120 Best Truth or Dare Questions for Any Party

Truth or Dare needs three things: a circle of people, a little courage, and prompts that fit the room. The last one is where most games stumble — a dare that is too tame bores everyone, one that is too wild ends the game. Below are our favourite questions and dares by mood, all of which are built into the online Truth or Dare game so you can play straight from your phone.

How to play Truth or Dare

Sit in a circle. The youngest player goes first and chooses "truth" or "dare". A truth must be answered honestly; a dare must be done. Anyone who refuses takes a forfeit (ten push-ups, a silly dance, or the group's choice). Play passes clockwise. If you use our app, add the players and it rotates automatically and never repeats a prompt in a session.
