Tips for kids and for parents

Nobody leaves the room. No dare on this page sends anyone to the kitchen, the backyard or a grown-up's bedroom.
No pranks on sleepers. The first one to fall asleep gets to sleep in peace: no marker on faces, no photos.
No filming. Dares are not recorded, so nobody finds their sleepy face on someone else's phone in the morning.
For the parents hosting, the full list of questions is printed right below the game. A quick skim shows there is nothing inappropriate.

Big group? Split into two teams with sleeping bags facing each other, and give a point for every dare completed. The winning team picks tomorrow's breakfast.
