Truths Truth or Dare Questions

Just the truth questions

About these truths only prompts

The dare-free version, for groups where half the room will not get up but everyone will talk. This is closer to a confession game than a party game, and it suits a smaller circle, later in the evening, sitting down. It also solves the practical problem of playing somewhere you cannot make noise or move around.

Best for: Late-night conversations, small groups, trains and planes, and anywhere a dare is impossible.

  • Ask a follow-up question after every answer. One question rarely gets the real story.

How to Play Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare gives each player a choice: answer a question honestly, or complete a challenge. It has survived for generations because the choice itself is the game — deciding which you are less willing to do says as much as either answer.

The rules

  1. Choose who goes first, then take turns clockwise.
  2. The player whose turn it is picks truth or dare before hearing the prompt.
  3. Read the next prompt of that type from the list, or draw one at random.
  4. The player answers honestly or completes the dare. Passing is always allowed.
  5. Play passes to the left. Rotate who reads so nobody controls the game.

Ways to change it up

  • Spin the bottle. Spin to choose the next player instead of taking turns in order — less predictable, and nobody can plan ahead.
  • Three passes. Each player gets three passes for the whole game. Once they are gone, they are gone.
  • Group dare. Everyone completes the dare together. Takes the pressure off and is much funnier to watch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many truths and dares are on this page?

20 truths and 0 dares — 20 prompts in total, all listed in full on this page.

Can a player refuse a dare?

Always. Agree before the first round that anyone can pass without giving a reason, and that the group moves on without comment. Games where passing is treated as a forfeit are the ones that end badly.

What makes a good dare?

One that can be finished in about a minute, in the room you are already in, with nothing you do not already have, and that nobody will still be dealing with tomorrow. Dares involving strangers, heights, vehicles, other people's belongings or anything posted online are not worth the story.

Is this list free to use?

Yes. Every prompt on this page is free to read, play from, print, or read aloud at an event. There is no account, no paywall and no download required — the full list is on this page.

How are these prompts checked?

Every prompt is reviewed by a person before it is published, and each one is tagged with the audiences it is suitable for. Anything that does not fit its rating gets corrected. You can report a prompt from the link at the bottom of any card.
