Truth or Dare? is a party game requiring a minimum of two players. The game is very popular with adolescents, but is also played by some adults.
Rules
One player starts the game by asking another player, "Truth or dare?" If the queried player answers, "truth," then the questioning player asks a question, usually embarrassing, of the queried player; otherwise, if the queried player answers, "dare," then the questioning player asks the queried to do something, also usually embarrassing. Many times the game takes a sexual turn, such as showing the butt, breasts, vagina, penis, or other parts. After answering the question or doing the dare, the queried player asks "truth or dare?" of another player and the game proceeds as before.
In Australia, a popular variant is "Truth, Dare or Torture," with torture being simply for more embarrassing dares.
Other versions, played under similar rules and circumstances, require the questioning player to ask the queried player an embarrassing question, and afterwards, say "Truth or Dare?". It is only after the question is asked that the queried is allowed to either answer the question, or accept an unknown dare. ( also can be played with a empty bottle by spinning it then ask "truth or dare " to the person who the bottle stops pointing to )
