Things You Should Know About The Game "TRUTH OR DARE" by tolexy123: 10:23am On Jan 10, 2016
[size=14pt]What does the Truth or Dare means?[/size]
It's a party game requiring two or more players. Players are given the choice between answering a question truthfully, or performing a "dare", both of which are set by the other players. The game is particularly popular among adolescents and children , and is sometimes used as a forfeit when gambling.

[size=14pt]History[/size]
The game has existed for centuries, with at least one variant, Questions and Commands, being attested as early as 1712: A Christmas game, in which the commander bids his subjects to answer a question which is asked. If the subject refuses, or fails to satisfy the commander, he must pay a forfeit [follow a command] or have his face smutted [dirtied].

Truth or Dare style games may ultimately derive from command games such as the ancient Greek Βασιλινδα (Basilinda) described by Julius Pollux, "in which we are told a king, elected by lot, commanded his comrades what they should perform". [2]

[size=14pt]Rules[/size]
Player 1 starts the game by asking another to choose "Truth or Dare". If Player 2 chooses "truth", then Player 1 asks a question, usually an embarrassing one, which Player 2 must answer truthfully. If Player 2 instead chooses "dare", then Player 1 dares them to do something, often embarrassing or
dangerous, which they must do which can entail telling an embarrassing story or acting out embarrassingly. After answering the question or performing the dare, Player 2 asks "Truth or Dare?" to another player, and the game continues. However, the player cannot dare someone to say the truth.
On occasion, someone can choose "double dare", which means that they and the person who dares them can have an action suggested for them to perform.
