How to play truth or dare

Take turns. On yours, pick truth (a question you answer honestly) or dare (something you do, there and then), or skip it: everything here is optional. Mild packs suit any group; the bold ones are for friends who know each other well.

Want your own? Add them in any game you play on one phone: they stay on that phone, and its other games can use them too. Online rooms keep a shared list of their own. Playing apart? Start a room and everyone plays on their own phone.

Variations, tips and how to keep it fun for a mixed group: our guide to playing truth or dare.
