Truth or Dare Over Text

Playing truth or dare over text is different from playing in person, so these 242 prompts are built for a chat. The truths get people typing, like your most-used emoji or the last song you played on repeat. The dares can be done with a phone in hand: send a voice memo in a pirate accent, share the third photo in your camera roll, or text only in song lyrics for the next five messages.

Use this page when a conversation needs a spark, whether with a best friend who moved away, a cousin across the country, or a group chat that went quiet. Pick a prompt, copy it, and send it. Everything is clean and nothing asks for private information, addresses, or photos of yourself, so it's comfortable for teens and adults alike.

How to play

1. Tap Truth, Dare, or Random to reveal a prompt.
2. Copy it and send it to your friend or group chat.
3. When they reply, it's their turn to send one back to you.
4. Keep a running score of completed dares in the chat.
