1. Truth or Dare

Arguably the go-to party game for teenage slumber parties and nights in with your best friends, you’re guaranteed to find out some unheard truths playing this classic.

While renowned for being a little naughty, depending on your audience, you can make ‘truth or dare’ clean, funny, embarrassing, or even deep and thought-provoking by asking the right questions.

If you need a helping hand, get started with our 100+ Truth or Dare Questions to give you plenty of questions to ask.

2. Would You Rather

‘Would you rather’ is primed for some rib-tickling evenings with your closest friends as you put each other in some ridiculous situations.

Aside from picking one of two scenarios, the real gold of playing this game is listening to people’s reasonings as to why they would pick one option over another.

If you need a little inspiration, we have 100+ Would You Rather Questions ready for you to use in your game.

3. Never Have I Ever

Renowned for being a very revealing game, ‘Never Have I Ever’ promises plenty of gasps and shocking revelations when played as a drinking game.

However, you can easily make this simple question game family-friendly with cleaner and funny questions, and substitute in other drinks or forfeits instead of alcohol.

Need some help thinking of questions? Our list of 200+ Never Have I Ever Questions should help you plan a game no one will forget in a hurry, be it naughty and revealing before a night on the town, or fun and embarrassing for a big family gathering.

4. This or That

You can learn so much about someone by playing ‘this or that.’ Generally, the two choices posed are polar opposites, which really helps enable deeper conversation, especially if someone else would choose the opposite answer.

‘This or that’ questions can cover pretty much any point of conversation, so you can design a game that suits your audience.

Having a movie night with your best friends? Make them funny! Getting to know a date a little better? Ask ‘this or that’ questions about relationships and dating.
