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 and seniors.
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. If the queried player answers, "dare," then the questioning player asks the queried to do something, also usually embarrassing. After answering the question or doing the dare, the queried player asks "truth or dare?" of another player and the game proceeds as before. The game may be expanded upon by adding additional options to choose from, such as making the dare apply to both the questioner and the queried, or incorporating Spin the Bottle to select the next person to be asked; this results in many different "variants" of the game, limited only by the players' creativity.
The game's title is sometimes extended to reflect additional options, for example: "truth, dare, double-dare, kiss, torture or promise". When double-dare is chosen, the person chosen is requested to do something but the person making the request is also expected to do the dare as well. When kiss is chosen the person must kiss a certain person sometimes of the same sex but not often. Torture, the person will be put in a scenario that will often embarrass or cause pain. Promise, you must make a promise and keep it (works similar to dare). The next person to make a dare can never copy that dare that was just given to them. Also if the person does not choose either he has to be the other persons slave. The other person is the slave until he takes the truth or dare that was assigned to him.
Make A Dare
Recently internet start-up http://www.MakeADare.com/ implemented the concept of "truth or dare" and made a social website out of it.
