                How do you play Truth or Dare?

                Truth or Dare is a classic party game. You'll need at least two people to begin, though the more people that join, the more fun the game becomes. Participants take turns asking each other to either complete a dare or, if they aren't willing to risk what that might entail, answer a question truthfully (think things like, "What's your guilty pleasure?" or "What's the biggest lie you've ever told your parents?"). Those who decide on the latter must complete any task the other players ask of them.

                What can I do if I can't think of any Truth or Dare questions?

                If you can't think of any good questions to ask on your own, you can always consult the rest of the players. It's actually the reason why a lot of people prefer playing in larger groups. If that doesn't help, then you can always hop online or refer to this list!
