How to play truth or dare (quick rules)

The rules are simple: players sit in a circle. The first player picks someone and asks 'Truth or dare?' Truth means answering a question honestly, dare means completing a challenge. Then it's that player's turn to ask. Optional house rules: allow one 'pass' per person, and anyone who refuses both answers a truth AND does a dare. Want to skip the awkward choosing? Use the truth or dare wheel — it picks who goes next and serves up prompts automatically.
