Truth or dare the whole family can play

Getting a seven-year-old, a fifteen-year-old and a grandparent to enjoy the same game is the real test of family game night. The truths on this page are written so anyone can answer them, whatever their age: family recipes, favorite toys, road trips, school lunches back in the day and the relative who always gives the best gifts. The dares can be done sitting down or standing in place, so a grandfather can take one on as easily as a grandkid.

Rules for mixed ages

  • Youngest goes first, then follow the ages up. Even little kids know when their turn is coming.
  • Same question, two generations. When a truth comes up, someone from another generation answers it too. Hearing a grandchild and a grandparent answer the same question is the best part.
  • Buddy dares. A grown-up can do a dare alongside a child who feels shy. The point counts for both.
  • Everyone gets a pass, parents included. One skip per person per round.

How it works

  1. Gather the players

    Sit in a circle and decide who starts. One phone in the middle is enough, or put the page on a TV.

  2. Tap Truth or Dare

    On your turn, tap Truth, Dare or Random. The card comes from this page’s list, and anyone can pass.

  3. Pass the turn

    Answer honestly or do the dare, then hand over to the next player. Prompts don’t repeat until the list is used up.

When to bring it out

It fits the end of a long Sunday dinner, a rainy afternoon at a vacation rental, a long wait at the airport or the hour after the dishes at a family reunion. There is no board and no pieces to lose: one phone in the middle of the table is enough.

  • Kids who can't read yet can play with a grown-up reading the card aloud, and they can act out their answers if they prefer.
  • Teens who would rather be elsewhere often warm up when they hold the phone and read the cards to the adults.
  • Grandparents tend to shine on the truths about the old days. Give them time: the stories are worth it.
  • On vacation, play one round each night after dinner and keep a running score until the last day.

Questions

What age can play family truth or dare?

From about 5 or 6 with a grown-up reading the cards. There is no upper limit: the questions are written for grandparents too.

Could any question make someone uncomfortable?

They are written not to. Money, dating and touchy subjects are left out; everything is about memories, tastes and traditions.

How is this different from the kids level?

The kids level talks mostly to children. Here every question can be asked to a parent or grandparent as well, and every dare works at any age.

Is this truth or dare game free?

Yes. It is free, funded by ads, and needs no account or app. It works right in your browser.
