Everybody knows how to play truth or dare questions. This is probably the most popular game to play at a party when the pizza is already gone, but you still have too much energy to sit and watch a movie. Truth or dare is the best opportunity to say and do all the things you wouldn’t in other circumstances, but they are still somehow fun.
The not-so-fun part is that if you play it often with the same circle of friends (and we get it; it’s fun, and you feel comfortable playing with certain people), you soon run out of truth or dare questions that haven’t been used a thousand times. Let us introduce new dares to give your friends that will add a spark to the game.
Remember that dares must be safe, both physically and emotionally. They shouldn’t embarrass your friends or put them in harm’s way. Some things may seem funny while they are in your head, but once they become real, you may find that it is not as much fun as you imagined.
Enjoy our list of dares at your next party, and make sure to tell us which one you found it most difficult to perform. We hope they will also inspire you to come up with more creative dares to ask your friends and that everyone has a good time.

Call the 3rd contact on your phone and sing them 30 seconds of a song that the group chooses.
Knock on your neighbors door with an empty glass and ask them for a glass of water.
Post a really long and serious Facebook status confessing your love for chocolate. The more comical you make it, the better!
Do your best impression of someone in the room and keep going until someone correctly guesses who it is.
Call a super fancy restaurant and try to make a reservation under the name of Jennifer Aniston.
You have two minutes… create the best, short, snappy poem, to sum up the night. Poetry not quite for you? Then a rap will also do!

Call your mother and tell her “You Know!” and wait to see if she cracks and tells you her secret.
Fill up your mouth with water and sing a song until someone from the group guesses the song.

Make a hand puppet by drawing a face on your hand, and use your hand to say what you want to say.

Put as much popcorn in your mouth as possible without chewing and only start chewing when it’s full.
Call a super fancy restaurant and try to make a reservation under the name of someone famous. Even try to speak like them and see if you’re still able to get the booking.
Draw a moustache on your face (with something washable like eyeliner) and keep it on for the rest of the game.
Let the person to your right put duct tape on any part of your body they choose and rip it off.
Let the person on your right take an ugly picture of you and your double chin and post it on IG with the caption, “I don’t leave the house without my double chin.”

Run out of the front door, do 10 leaping jumps, then shout “I believe I can fly!” and run back inside.
It's pretty obvious this is aimed at 12 year olds, which is fine, but whether it is aimed at 5 or 50 year olds, dares that disrespect strangers or people not participating in the game, and/or that put personal relationships or personal well being in real danger are not "cute ideas to liven things up". There are plenty of embarrassing things you can do without harassing a parent, love interest, or friend and without removing someone's agency or actively scorning consent.
I'm sure the TV show QI mentioned something about someone contacting someone and said 'They're onto us, leave now!' and they were never heard from again
