How to Play Truth or Dare (the Teen-Friendly Version)

The rules are simple, which is half the reason this game has lasted forever. Sit in a circle, pick who goes first, and that person asks the next player: "Truth or dare?"

That's the whole game. The only real rule for a teen group is to keep dares safe and questions kind. Nobody should feel pushed into something embarrassing or risky. A good "pass" rule helps too: let each player skip one prompt per game, no questions asked. It keeps things relaxed and fun instead of tense.

If you don't want to think up prompts on the spot, the free online game does it for you. Tap "Truth" or "Dare" and a fresh prompt pops up, so the game never stalls.
