100 Truth or Dare questions and 100 dares

The game is only as good as the questions. Here are a hundred truths and a hundred dares sorted by the kind of group you are with, all clean enough to read out loud. Jump to the section that fits your room.

Ground rules that keep it fun

Anyone can skip a question or a dare. Agree on a forfeit for skipping in advance: a funny one, never a humiliating one.
No dares that are dangerous, involve alcohol, damage things or involve people outside the game.
What is said in the game stays in the game.
Pick the lists that fit the room: the couples' questions are not for a work party, the kids' ones are for kids.
