Truth or drink questions: answer honestly, or drink

How to play Truth or Drink

1. Sit in a circle (or across from each other, if there are two of you).
2. On your turn, ask one player a question.
3. They answer honestly, or they drink and the question is dropped.
4. If the group thinks the answer was a dodge, they can vote to make the player drink anyway.
5. Next player asks. Keep going until you run out of drinks or secrets.

The rule that makes it work: a skip is always allowed. Nobody has to answer anything; it just costs a sip. That is why people end up answering more, not less.

Tap for a question

Ways to play it

• Truth or Drink, two-way: after answering, you get to ask the asker the same question back.
• Lightning round: five questions, five seconds each. Any hesitation counts as a skip.
• Group verdict: after each answer, the table votes “true or lie”. If the majority says lie, the answerer drinks anyway.
• Hot seat: one player takes three questions in a row before passing. See our hot seat questions.

What to play next

Truth or Drink is half of truth or dare; add dares when the room wants to move. If your group prefers secrets that stay half-hidden, try Paranoia questions, where only one person hears the question.

Answers given in Truth or Drink should stay at the party. Keep it to sips, keep water on the table, and let anyone skip without explaining. More on our responsible drinking page.
