Rules
One player starts the game by asking another player, "Truth or dare?" If the queried player answers, "truth," then the questioning player asks a question, usually embarrassing, of the queried player. If the queried player answers, "dare," then the questioning player asks the queried to do something, also usually embarrassing. After answering the question or doing the dare, the queried player asks "truth or dare?" of another player and the game proceeds as before. The game may be expanded upon by adding additional options to choose from, such as making the dare apply to both the questioner and the queried, or incorporating "Spin the Bottle" to select the next person to be asked; this results in many different "variants" of the game, limited only by the players creativity.
The games title is sometimes extended to truth, dare, double-dare, kiss, torture or promise. When double-dare is chosen, the person chosen is requested to do something but the person making the request is also expected to do the dare as well. When kiss is chosen the person must kiss a certain person. Torture, the person will be put in a scenario that will often embarrass or cause pain. Promise, you must make a promise and keep it (works similar to dare).
Variations
- In Australia, a popular variant is "Truth, Dare or Torture," with torture being simply for more embarrassing dares.
- Other versions, played under similar rules and circumstances, require the questioning player to ask the queried player an embarrassing question, and afterwards, say "Truth or Dare?". It is only after the question is asked that the queried is allowed to either answer the question, or accept an unknown dare. It can also be played with an empty bottle by spinning it then asking "truth or dare?" to whom the bottle points.
- Another popular variation of "Truth or Dare" is actually an inversion: "Lies or Play it Safe" dispenses with the traditionally accepted question "Truth or Dare?" and purposefully asks the opposite. In "Lies or Play it Safe," the one being asked the titular question must either respond dishonestly to a question of the asker's choice (different variations of the game have different rules stipulating either only "yes or no" responses, or easily seen-through direct inversions of embarrassing or revealing truths) or "play it safe" by humorously agreeing to follow a particularly insipid or obvious precaution stipulated by the asker.
- One variation is "Strip or Dare". You either remove one article of clothing: strip, or accept a dare.
- Another variation is "Truth, dare, double dare, promise, repeat, Hot chili peppers, licorice, or electric chair". Promise is when you have to promise to do something to someone or an object if they are not there. Repeat is when you have to repeat something, mostly really disgusting. Hot chili peppers is French kissing something, any object of the darer's choice. Licorice is licking somthing, and electric chair is three dares in a row.
- Another variation, once again called "Truth or Dare", allows players to opt out of an embarrassing dare by playing a 'chicken card'. This rule is often used in less mature settings, with young players who would not be willing to go as far to perform a dare. This rule also ensures that the player issuing the dare avoids outrageous dares that would be more likely to be 'chicken carded'. Most players place a limit on the number of chicken cards that can be used by any particular player, to ensure participation by all. Others deter excess use of the chicken card by forcing its user to perform another embarrassing dare instead of the original. Regardless, after playing the 'chicken card', play resumes as if the dare had been performed.
- A different variation is Truth, Dare, Double Dare, Promise, or Repeat. Double Dare is a more complex and embarrassing type of dare, or can also be played where both the dare giver and the dare receiver perform the dare. Promise is when you have to promise to do something to someone or an object if they are not there. Repeat is when you have to repeat something, mostly really disgusting.
- Also popular with children is Truth, dare, kiss, or swear. Kiss is where someone has to kiss something of the darers choice. And swear is where someone has to say all of the swears.
- A version played in Portugal among preteens and teenagers is called "Verdade, consequência, nota ou preferência" instead of the simpler version "verdade ou consequência" (literally Truth or Dare). In this version, whoever that answers "Nota" (grade), must grade someone in a scale from 1 to 5, 10 or 20 and whoever that answers Preferência (preference) must choose between two chances given by the person who asks, usually choosing between two elements of the opposite sex or two friends.
- Another version popular in the UK is Truth, Dare, Double Dare, Promise or Opinion. Truth, Dare, Double Dare and Promise are carried out as detailed above and if a player chooses Opinion they must give an opinion on something such as "who is hottest - Abi or Jennifer?" or "rate Phill's personality on a scale of 1-10".
- Perverted or Not Perverted is a more hardcore variant of Truth or Dare, in which one person gives another either a perverted (usually sex-related) question to answer, or one that is more mild (often a would you rather, such as, "Would you rather eat oatmeal for a week or throw a baseball through the window of the Mayor's house?").
- Another variation is Truth, Dare, or Perve'd. In this variation, you do the normal Truth or Dare, or then you can do 'Perve'd'. Usually Perv'd is VERY perverted and has to do with Sexual Contact on in all forms.
- Popular amongst pre-teens in Australia is Truth, Dare, Double Dare, Kiss, Touch or Torture: Double Dare is a dare that both the asker and the queried must do, Kiss means that the queried must kiss a person of the asker's choice, Touch means that the queried must touch something disgusting decided by the asker with the group and Torture means that the queried can be tortured (usually by tickling) by the asker for a set amount of time or until the group decides it is enough.
- Also popular among Australian teens is Turth, Dare, Double Dare, Torture, Kiss or Promise: Double Dare is a dare that both the asker and the queried must do, Torture means that the queried must be tickled or asked to do something like drink a cup of eggs, Kiss means that the queried must kiss someone of the askers chioce and Promise means the queried must promise to do something & do it as in ring up your crush & tell him you like him.
- A popular variation in England is Truth, Dare, Double Dare, Kiss, Command or Promise: Double Dare is usually asking the queried to participate in two dares, instead of the asker and queried both attempting a dare, Kiss means that the queried has to kiss someone or something, Command is when the asker commands the queried to do something and they cannot back out of it, and Promise means the queried must promise to do something to someone or something which isn't there at that moment in time.
- One version of this game is a wedgie version( dares with wedgies in them) or a dare or double dare(double dares are not aloud to be backed down)
