Children's Variants: Truth, Dare, Kiss, Swear

This game is often played by younger children. I have seen seven year olds play this!

Kiss means just something or someone, often only on the cheek or even the hand.

Swear means that the person who chose it will have to name as many swear words as they can come up with. Sometimes they have to say it out loud, and the thrill of the game is not to get caught and scolded by the parents!

The Who is Louder Game

by Francis
(somewhere in a train in Munich)

A bunch of noisy teens played this game in a train I was in. They called it the “Who is Louder?” game.

Very fitting name for a loud game that made a few heads turn… and got me chuckling a lot.

It worked like this: they chose a word – preferably a profanity. (Think the P word or the F word…)

Then they took turns shouting the word as loud as possible. Of course, in a full train, this takes some nerve to do so. Even more so with their teacher a few seats away from them.

Essentially, it was a game testing your guts and seeing who gets into trouble the first!

What they said about Truth or Dare

“Let’s play Truth or Dare!”

“No, let’s play Dare or Dare! Truth is sooo boring, everyone always just lies.”

“But what dare?”

“Dare: who is louder! Let’s all shout P***nis!!”

Truth, Dare, Double Dare, Promise or Repeat

There are variations for "Double Dare":

For Double Dare the person telling the dare as well as the person dared have to both complete the dare.

Often the double dare chosen is not so bad for one of the two parties, like touching a spider or hugging all the girls.

Repeat means that the other player has to do the same dare in the same way after the person asking has done it. It is similar to the double dare, but it is more close to immitating the first person in real time.

Of course, hilarious situations often come up with the imagination of teenagers, like when a girl Repeat-dares a boy and then begins to put on make-up!

Combining Spin the Bottle and Truth or Dare

One simple variation for choosing which player?s turn it is, is to use a bottle, spin it and the next person to whom it points must choose between Truth or Dare.

Another variation is to first ask a very embarrassing or private question, and only then ask "Truth or Dare"? The other player then can opt for a (possibly worse) dare after he has heard the question.

It's more fun to play that way because people choose dare more often.

Truth Dare and Identity

by Joschka
(Khomas)

Well we thought it up at school where if you chose identity you can say 3 dares and the victim has to chose one of the three but may not back down at any dares!!

HEHE someone dared someone to lick all the sand in the desert(Namib)

Or go into the toilet (it was on a camp and it was a toilet where the p**p falls into a deep pit) and stay there till you have to go.

And at the end lick someone's feet/butt/nose or lips.
