Q&A for How to Play Truth or Dare

It's really up to you whether you confess or not. It's meant to be a game, not a police interrogation.

You do need to tell the truth, as the name implies, this game will be the most fun with an honest answer! However, if you don't feel comfortable answering certain questions, that's completely okay.

Nothing involving drugs or alcohol, weapons, or sex. If someone refuses to do or tell something, that's OK. It is just a game, after all.

You could set rules beforehand and create a penalty for declining a dare that isn't dangerous or harmful.

There are none. All ages may play.

Usually just small funny things like, "stuff seven mini marshmallows in your mouth", "do you like ketchup?" or maybe something more challenging like, "do you have a crush on Jake?" or "I dare you to yell something you hate really loudly!"

It's better to choose different questions, but you can decide before you start playing to see what other people think.

No. Sex is a really serious issue and you definitely shouldn't commit to having it on a dare. Talk to your boyfriend about sex after you've thought it through carefully and decided you're absolutely sure you're ready. Don't let your friends peer pressure you with this silly game.

There certainly aren't rules against it!

As long as you and the other player are both comfortable with it, then you can do it. Otherwise you can skip your turn or ask for another dare, depending on the rules you have decided on for the game.

Of course. This is a game where you can improvise. If everyone agrees to this, it's your choice.

It cannot be undone unless the other players agree.

By stating the person has the option to decline the truth or dare. Also make sure to tell the person who says the truth or dare not to ask anything too personal or deep.

You can just pick a player and then go around clockwise in a circle, or you could draw straws.

That is the smartest idea that anyone has ever suggested. You are encouraged to do that.

You can, but prepare for the aftermath. Don't get offended if they say no, and don't get too excited if they say yes, because they might just be doing it because you dared them.

It very much depends on where you are, what you are wearing, what the weather is like, and what your parents permit. Don't do anything that could potentially put somebody's safety or health at risk, and if somebody is uncomfortable doing a dare, let them switch to truth or be skipped.

Try to prove it. If you can, the person should have to face some kind of consequences, like having to do a really crazy dare.

If you are not comfortable answering this question honestly, it is perfectly fine to just lie. There's no way they can prove you wrong.

The same way you’d play any other game of Truth or Dare. You could set limits, though, on what truths and dares can be given to protect their privacy, or just not ask them extremely deep or personal questions.

I did that at my birthday party because my friend asked me if I had a crush on anyone. The girl I liked was sitting right next to me, so I said no, we moved on, and later, when my friend and I were alone, I told her the truth. So if you don't feel comfortable answering, it's okay. You can either tell a white lie or just say, "I don't want to answer that, it's too personal."

Nope. Don't do it. That's asking for trouble, and you'd be in the wrong. It's OK to have a crush; it happens. While you may not care a thing for his current partner, you do care for him, and he has already chosen a person to focus his love and affection on. Just because that choice is not you doesn't mean he's wrong. You have to respect his choice.

Questions depend on the age of the player, but you could try searching online: "truths for teens", "truths for adults", "truths for tweens", etc. Also, you can, or you could do it as answer a less hard truth and a less hard dare or just one difficult dare maybe.

Yes, if you know the person likes you, but consider (if you’re playing as a group) whether you’ll both be comfortable with the lack of privacy.

Truths: ‘Who do you have a crush on’, ‘Would you rather...’, ‘Tell us something you’ve never told anyone’, ‘What’s the grossest thing you’ve ever done’. Dares: ‘put ice cubes down your pants’, ‘do a dance performance to the song we play’, ‘cut/dye your hair’, ‘message your crush something weird’.

Yes. Everyone does that sometimes, it's often a natural reaction to something (a question) you're having trouble answering!

Don't. It might be too personal, and every man is entitled to his own secrets. She/he might even have lied because you wouldn't like it and/or it's just something you might look down on him/her or treat him/her differently than right now.

Only if you're comfortable with that dare--you shouldn't do anything you're uncomfortable with. If you don't want to do a dare, firmly say no and keep the game going. If you're pressured to do anything after you've said no, leave.

You could, but depending on what kind of friend you have, the friendship could become awkward after the kiss. Also, if your friend is uncomfortable with kissing you, you shouldn't force them to.

No, leave undergarments on, as underwear covers up your genitals. Taking off underwear might make some people uncomfortable. Simply switch clothes, and leave your underwear on.
