85 clean truth or dare questions for friends, couples and text

How to play truth or dare (and keep it kind)

1. Sit in a circle, or take turns in the chat or on the call.
2. The person whose turn it is chooses truth or dare.
3. Someone else picks a question or dare from the lists below.
4. Answer honestly or do the dare, then pass the turn on.

Three house rules make it better for everyone:

• Anyone can pass, with no questions asked.
• Dares stay inside the group: nothing involving strangers, nothing posted online, nothing risky.
• Truths are for laughing with someone, never at them.
