Rule ideas
Safety rules (must-have)
These rules prevent 90% of “that got weird” moments.
Non-negotiables
- Pass is always allowed (no explanation).
- No filming/posting without permission.
- No touching dares unless all involved explicitly say yes.
- No illegal/dangerous/messy dares.
- If someone says “stop,” it ends immediately.
Host tip: say the pass rule out loud before the first turn. People relax instantly.
Fun custom rules (pick your set)
- Timer mode: 20 seconds max for any dare.
- Two-choice rule: every turn offers Prompt A or Prompt B.
- Whisper round: for 5 minutes, everyone whispers dares.
- Emoji round: truths must include your most-used emoji.
- Accent round: pick a silly accent (nothing offensive) for 2 turns.
- Charades round: dares must be silent for 3 rounds.
- Compliment tax: if you pass, give a 1-sentence compliment.
- Snack duty pass: if you pass, you’re snack captain for 1 round.
- Reverse round: you dare the person who dared you (once).
- Category lock: 10 minutes of “funny only” truths (no deep stuff).
- Story chain: each truth adds 1 sentence to a shared story.
- Team mode: split into teams; teams pick dares for the other team.
- PG mode: ban “crush” questions and keep everything non-romantic.
- No-repeat rule: no one can repeat a dare type (dance, voice, etc.) twice.
- Wildcard cards: 3 cards like “skip,” “swap,” “double dare.”
- Kindness finale: last 3 turns are compliments only.
