Truth or Dare

How to play

Sit in a circle (or a group chat screen-share) and take turns. On your turn, tap 🗣️ TRUTH to answer a question honestly, or 🔥 DARE to perform a challenge. The prompts are shuffled so you'll see every one before anything repeats, and the counter tracks how deep into the game you are. No phone-passing rules needed — one person can hold the phone and read prompts aloud.

House rules that keep it fun

The best truth-or-dare games have two rules agreed up front. The pass rule: everyone gets one free skip per game, no questions asked — it keeps the pressure playful instead of real. The swap rule: once per game you can trade your truth for a dare (or the reverse). Beyond that: dares are performed where you are, nobody films anyone without asking, and the goal is making the room laugh — not making anyone squirm. Every prompt here is written so a mixed group — kids, friends, grandparents — can play without anyone vetting the deck first.

Frequently asked questions

Is this version of truth or dare family-friendly?
Yes. Every truth and every dare is written to be safe and playable anywhere — nothing dangerous, nothing inappropriate, nothing you couldn't do in a living room with grandparents watching.

How many questions are there?
Over 70 original prompts — half truths, half dares — shuffled so you get a full fresh run before anything repeats. The counter keeps track of how many you've drawn.

What if someone doesn't want to answer?
Use the classic house rule: one free pass per player per game, or let them swap a truth for a dare (and vice versa) once. The game should stay fun — never force an answer.
