How do you play "Truth or Dare?"?

Question

If there are rules or customs associated with the game, please explain. Can you give me an example of how the game is played? If age is a factor, assume we are dealing with well-educated, fun-loving adults.

Answer 1

This is the way we used to play:

You have, say, six people (could be more, could be less). They are all pretty good friends. This game can get ugly, if people are not friendly about it.

Someone starts. They pick another person, and ask "Truth or Dare?"

The victim :-)) chooses. If they pick Truth, they have to answer any question asked truthfully ("Would you sleep with so-and-so?" Usually one of the other people in the room, but not necessarily).

If they pick Dare, they have to accept the Dare offered ("Go kiss so-and-so on the mouth for 30 seconds" or "Go sit on so-and-so's lap until the next time you get picked").

If they refuse either the Truth or the Dare, they have to drink a shot. If something was TOO outrageous, everyone would veto it, and the asker would have to try again. No "I Dare you to stab yourself in the eye with a fork." or "I Dare you to sleep with so-and-so's husband."

In later rounds, Truth questions might refer to earlier questions ("Why wouldn't you sleep with so-and-so?" or "Why do you want to sleep with so-and-so?")

The fact that everyone knew that they would be the "victim," sooner or later, usually kept the game fairly reasonable. Naughty, maybe, but not cruel, illegal, or harmful.

Once the "victim" answered, accepted the Dare, or had a shot, they picked the next person to ask "Truth or Dare?"

As more shots were taken, the game would get more out of hand, and the more conservative people would drop out, and sit and laugh at the ones who kept playing. Bear in mind we were all good friends, who cared about one another. Many of us were related by blood, marriage, or living together.

This game is intended to be fun, not to destroy people, or wreck relationships.

It is not a game that I would play with people I do not know rather well.

I'll be interested to see if this is how others play it.

Answer 2

Very carefully and without alcohol. I have played once with "well-educated, fun-loving adults" we ate frozen corn, broke pictures, jumped naked in freezing yucky swimming pools and admitted some serious stuff...

You feel like you have to top the next dare and top the next truth. Over and over until you feel like, "$hit, should I have admitted that afterall?"

And the game is played just as it states. Truth or dare. I had a necklace my daughter got at walmart. I am not sure how you are going to pick... make index cards and throw them in a pile. Truth, dare, double dare, promise to repeat, and pass. Promise to repeat-simple... "I promise to always have safe sex" Truth is truth... dare.. something not so daring. Double dare... "walk slowly buck naked to the mailbox, check the mail for 30 seconds and then return to the front-door"...

You can't always guarantee that the people are going to do either your truth or your dare, no matter how mature they are so if ya'all are mature, then you have to let people pass things up on moral value.
