Truth or Dare generator
Truths and dares shuffled into one deck, so the card decides, not the person whose turn it is. Tap for a random prompt on any phone or laptop. It is free, and there are no ads or accounts.

Running Truth or Dare when the card decides
- Sit in a rough circle. Plenty of the dares name the player on your left, the player on your right or the player opposite, so where people sit decides who gets dragged in.
- The first player taps Draw a card and reads it aloud. A question is a truth and an instruction is a dare. Nobody calls it in advance: the shuffle is in charge.
- A truth gets a full, honest answer, and the room may ask one follow-up. A dare happens straight away, in the room, while everybody watches.
- Each player has one pass per game. Passing means tapping again and taking whatever turns up next, with no second escape.
- Hand the phone to the left and the next player draws.
Why let the card choose? In the Antics app, about two in three Truth or Dare games open with a truth, though dares catch up as a game goes on (see our party data). A mixed deck skips the warm-up. Prefer the classic way? Call truth or dare out loud first, then keep tapping until that kind of card appears. The traditional rules, and longer lists sorted by setting, are in the Truth or Dare guide.
Truths and dares from this deck
Each line here sits in the party deck behind the button. It plays on phones, texts and the people sitting in the room.
Truths
- What was your honest first impression of the player on your left?
- Who in this room would you trust least with your phone unlocked?
- Have you ever ghosted someone? What's your excuse?
- If you had to swap lives with someone in this room, who and why?
- What's the cringiest thing you've ever posted online?
Dares
- Show the group your screen-time report. No explanations allowed.
- Let the player on your right send one emoji from your phone to anyone they choose.
- Narrate everyone's movements like a nature documentary for the next two rounds.
- Make up a 30-second rap about the person on your left.
- Impersonate another player until someone guesses who it is.
The truths land hardest when they point at somebody present. The dares work when they cost a little dignity in front of an audience that will not let it go.
Clean Truth or Dare for mixed company
Switch to Clean and you get a different deck altogether: nothing about drinking or dating, no innuendo and no swearing. Its truths ask about pet hates, childhood plans and petty grudges, and its dares are performances anyone can pull off, with nothing sent from anybody's phone.
- What is the pettiest reason you have ever fallen out with someone?
- What do you pretend to enjoy and secretly do not?
- What are you weirdly competitive about?
- Describe the contents of your fridge as if it were a restaurant menu.
- Give a thirty second speech praising an object in this room.
- Teach the group something useful in sixty seconds.
Your pick is kept on this phone for next time. Hosting people you have only just met? Begin on Clean and move across later if the room asks for it. This address opens the clean deck directly.
Where Truth or Dare goes down well
Uni flats
Once a flat is past the polite stage, the party deck's phone dares do the heavy lifting: a screen-time report shown with no explanations, one emoji sent by the player on your right. People who share a fridge already know which secrets are worth digging for. There are more flat-night ideas on party games for uni.
Work socials
Use the clean deck and agree the one-pass rule before the first card, so nobody feels cornered in front of their manager. A truth like "what small thing annoys you far more than it reasonably should?" gets colleagues talking without anything they would regret on Monday, and the dare to teach the group something useful in sixty seconds goes better than anyone expects.
Weddings
A stag or hen weekend is this game's natural home: the party deck after dinner, once the group has run out of stories about the couple. At the reception itself, stay on Clean, where a dare to compliment every person here, one by one, is a lovely thing to set loose on a table of strangers. The stag do games page has more for the weekend.
Nights in
Three or four friends and a takeaway are plenty. The room dares (a catwalk across the lounge, narrating everyone like a wildlife film) need space rather than numbers, and with fewer players each turn comes round fast enough that nobody drifts off to their own screen.
Truth or Dare generator: things people ask
Can I still choose truth or dare?
Yes, the old-fashioned way. Say which you want, then tap until a card of that kind comes up. Questions are truths and instructions are dares, so a glance is enough to tell. Most groups find the random mix more fun after a round or two.
Is a truth or a dare more likely?
Neither, really. Both decks hold truths and dares in roughly equal measure, shuffled together, so three dares in a row is simply bad luck.
What happens when someone refuses?
They use their pass from the steps above, once per game. After that, most groups hand out a forfeit; there are plenty that need no props on the forfeit ideas page.
Do the dares need any props?
Almost never. They use what is already around you: a phone, the furniture, the people in the room. The odd clean dare wants something to balance on your head, and any book or cushion will do.
Where can we get more cards?
The Antics app comes with free truths and dares, and Antics Premium unlocks the full Truth or Dare deck. It remembers what your group has already seen, so nothing comes back early. Truth or Dare is one of nine games in it, alongside The Four Kings and Imposter, which cost nothing at all. It is on iPhone and Android in eleven languages, free to download, with no ads and nothing to sign up for.
