Sleepover house rules

The best sleepovers are the ones where everyone feels safe enough to be silly. Keep it kind and keep it quiet.

Rules (copy/paste)

  • Keep it kind. No roasting disguised as “truth.”
  • Anyone can pass. No one asks why.
  • No dares that wake up parents/roommates (low-noise mode).
  • No mess, no damage, no outside/unsafe stuff.
  • No filming/posting without permission.
  • If it gets awkward: switch prompt immediately.
Tip: if your group tends to roast each other, add a “kindness rule” — truths must be about yourself, not “what do you dislike about someone else?”

Truths (sleepover-friendly)

What’s your most random fear?
What’s a show you could binge forever?
What’s the weirdest dream you remember?
What’s a snack you think is underrated?
If you could teleport anywhere right now, where would you go?
What’s the funniest thing that happened at school recently?
What’s a trend you tried that you regret?
What’s your “comfort song”?
What’s a harmless secret talent you have?
What’s a moment you laughed so hard you couldn’t breathe?

Dares (low-noise mode)

Do a silent charades scene until someone guesses it.
Make a “pillow commercial” using only whisper voice.
Balance a book on your head for 10 seconds.
Text your group chat a wholesome compliment (no spam).
Do a slow-motion “victory dance” for 15 seconds.
Try to say a tongue twister 3 times without laughing.
Swap socks with someone (clean socks only) and pose like models.
Create a 10-second “mystery trailer” about the sleepover snacks.
Hold a “statue pose” until your next turn.
Draw a tiny doodle of each person in under 30 seconds each.

Hosting tips

Keep it smooth

  • Start with 5 easy rounds (warm-up).
  • Use a timer: dares max 20 seconds.
  • If someone passes twice, give them a “truth-only” round.
  • End with a positive round: “one compliment each.”
