Ideas for Truth & Dare at a Party
Playing Truth or Dare is an entrenched tradition for party-goers of various ages. It can bring anticipation and excitement to the party, along with a sense of exhilaration to the truth-teller or dare-doer. Truth or Dare subjects are extremely varied, and there are nearly endless possibilities for hours of fun.

The Opposite Sex
-
Keep opposite-sex Truth or Dare spicy but friendly. Questions and dares about the opposite sex can be hilarious and even shocking. For truth, you can ask if the target has ever cheated on a boyfriend, kissed more than one guy in a night or if she "likes" one of the guys in attendance. Or, dare her to prank-call her crush or an ex-boyfriend. You could also dare her to kiss one of the boys in attendance.
Friends
-
Truth or Dare is funnier and more personal between friends. Playing Truth or Dare among friends can be a bonding experience. Dare your friend to mimic each person in the room (if he knows everyone) or just pick one person and everyone else can guess who he is mimicking. Ask him to reveal a (now-meaningless) secret from childhood or the worst thing he ever did with friends that his parents don't know about. You could also dare him to call an old friend from childhood and say something silly, such as "I'm in love with your earlobes."

Random Silliness
-
Being silly with friends can make you feel like a kid again. Voluntarily looking foolish can be a great de-stressor. Dare someone to do the macarena (without music), lick the floor, run down the street singing at the top of her lungs, put on a friend's bra or smell everyone's feet. Or, ask someone which vegetable she'd most like to be, what is her favorite guilty pleasure or to reveal her most embarrassing memory. You could also dare her to sing commercial jingles as requested by the rest of the attendees, yodel or get the truth about whether she cheated on an exam in high school.
Would You Rather?
-
A player's choice can reveal quite a lot about him. Give Truth or Dare a twist by adding "Would You Rather?" Instead of simply asking whether someone would prefer truth or dare, ask if he'd rather reveal the truth about his late-night eating habits or let someone at the party crack an egg on his head. Or, give him the choice of revealing his biggest personal fear or weakness or let someone rub feet on his face for 10 seconds. You could also offer the truth-or-dare option, then give two choices; for example, "I dare you to either eat an entire orange peel or chug a quart of milk."
