The best truth or dare questions, for if you're feeling *curious* about your pals (1)

Time to ask your friends!

By Dusty Baxter-Wright, Sophie Williams and Lydia Venn

Forgive us for sounding like Monica from Friends, but sometimes all we need is a bit of organised fun. Whether that's a round of 'never have I ever' for your next prinks, a drinking game for the after party or even dinner party games for a (civilised?) evening. Or how about a good old fashioned game of truth or dare?

How to play Truth or Dare

A standard Truth or Dare session typically involves you and your mates sitting in a circle, and in a clockwise motion, asking each player if they’d prefer to answer a truth question or do a dare. Once they've picked, either ask them a question to reveal a 'truth' about them, or dare they to do something else.

If they refuse to answer the question or do the dare, the player usually has to complete a forfeit. And surprise, surprise, it’s usually a shot of something *very* strong.

*Disclaimer - if you’ve never played the infamous game before, it’s pretty straightforward - albeit it can get a little spicy if there’s booze involved - which of course, is optional.

So, whether you’re having a girly night in at the weekend and you want to ruffle some feathers, or you’re on a hen do and want your bridal party to get to know each other better, there’s nothing better - or more savage - than a classic game of truth or dare.

And because it holds such a special place in our teenage house party hearts, we’ve compiled a list of our fave questions and dares (all 250 of them) that are sure to keep the party going alllllll night.

*Please play responsibly
