Want to start a game right now? Open the game here, grab a prompt, and paste it into your chat — no app, no sign-up, no scrolling forever for ideas. Prefer a ready-made list? Below you'll find 30 truths and 30 dares built specifically to send over text. Everything's clean and friendly.

How to Play Truth or Dare Over Text

The text version works just like the in-person game, with one twist: the dares have to be things you can do through a phone. Here's the flow.

1. One person sends "truth or dare?"
2. The other replies with their pick.
3. The first person sends a question (for truth) or a challenge (for dare).
4. They answer or do it, then send "truth or dare?" back.

That's it. Because there's no one in the room to keep score, a couple of friendly rules help: agree that everyone answers honestly, and that dares get done before the next turn. A relaxed "pass once per game" rule keeps things easy too.

If you don't want to brainstorm prompts while you're chatting, the free online game does the thinking. Tap "Truth" or "Dare," copy the prompt, and send it. The game never stalls waiting for someone to come up with an idea.
