Questions people ask

How do you play truth and dare?

Sit in a circle. One player is picked, for example by spinning a bottle, and chooses truth or dare. A truth is a question they answer honestly; a dare is a small task they do right away. Then the next player is picked.

What are good truth and dare questions for friends?

Good questions are funny and a little embarrassing but never mean, like asking about a secret favourite song or the weirdest thing someone searched online. The lists above are a good start, and the Friends page has more.

What if someone does not want to answer?

Let them skip. In Truth n Dare, Skip is free and unlimited, because the game should be fun for everyone.

Is Truth n Dare free?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, has no ads and works offline after the first visit.
