The party or text conversation has continued for a while. It was fun, but now it is beginning to wind down. You aren’t exactly ready for the games to end, so you suggest a game of Truth or Dare.

A game of Truth or Dare is heavily reliant on the types of questions being asked by the players of the game, but coming up with good dares and questions to ask your friends is often easier said than done.

If you only dare people to do easy things, then the game isn’t going to be much fun. But you don't want to make anyone too uncomfortable or pressure them to do anything they'll regret later. But not to worry! We came up with a list of fun dares and truth questions to send your friends over text or in person.

And there's no need to stop the game when the night ends. Sometimes the best games carry on for days! You can keep playing Truth or Dare by sending challenges to your friends and family throughout the week over text. Just have them message you back with their responses (or have them provide video evidence). Plus, they can earn bonus points if they post their dares on social media.
