How do you play Truth or Dare?

Players take turns. On your turn, choose truth — and answer a question honestly — or dare — and do a challenge. Then it is the next player's turn. On this page, add player names to take turns (in order or picked at random), tap Truth, Dare, or Random, and tap Next when you're done.

How many truths and dares are there?

290 original truths and dares — 154 truth questions and 138 dares — in 9 categories: funny, friends, kids, teens, family, party for adults, sweet ones for couples, deep, and over text or online. Switch categories on or off to fit your group.

Are the dares safe and family-friendly?

Yes. Every truth and dare is clean, and every dare can be done safely at home — no dangerous stunts, nothing involving strangers, and nothing that means eating something that isn't food. Players can always skip a card and get another one.

Can we play Truth or Dare over text or video call?

Yes. Turn on the Over text / online category for truths and dares that work in a chat or on a video call, like sending a voice message, a photo of what's in front of you, or replying only in emojis.

What if someone doesn't want to answer or do a dare?

Tap Skip to get another card of the same kind. Many groups agree on a small, fun forfeit for skips — like doing ten jumping jacks — but nobody should ever be pressured into something they're not comfortable with.

Yes — free, no sign-up, and no app. Player names stay in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.

How to play Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare is the classic party game: on your turn you choose truth and answer a question honestly, or dare and complete a challenge. It works for sleepovers, birthday parties, family nights, road trips, and even video calls.

Sit in a circle (or join a call) and add everyone’s name in the Players box — optional but handy.
The player whose turn it is taps Truth, Dare, or Random if they can’t decide.
They answer the truth honestly or do the dare. Not comfortable? Tap Skip for another card.
Tap Next for the next player — in order around the circle, or spin to pick someone at random.

This page has 292 original truths and dares — 154 truth questions and 138 dares — in 9 categories. Cards are shuffled and don’t repeat until you’ve seen them all.

House rules that keep it fun

Everyone can pass. Agree on a light forfeit for skips (like ten jumping jacks), but never pressure anyone.
Truths stay in the room. What’s said during the game isn’t repeated later.
Safe dares only. Nothing dangerous, nothing involving strangers, and nothing that could break or hurt something. Every dare here follows that rule.
Mix it up. Nobody can pick truth three times in a row — it keeps the dares coming.
