Truth or dare questions for video calls: 42 truths and 30 dares

How to play truth or dare over a video call

The rules are the same as at a party, with a few small adjustments for the screen:

1. Take turns. One person asks, the other chooses truth or dare, then you swap. Keep it fair so nobody ends up answering everything.
2. Agree on the mood first. A quick “silly or a bit flirty?” at the start saves awkward moments later.
3. Make dares camera-friendly. The other person has to be able to see it happen, so keep dares inside the frame and inside the room.
4. Passing is always allowed. No penalties, no pressure, no “you have to”. If someone passes, just move on to the next round.
5. Keep it short. Video calls have lag, so quick answers and one-minute dares keep the energy up.

A good habit is to start with easy, funny rounds and only move to more personal questions once you’re both clearly enjoying yourselves.

Camera dares you can do at home

Good video call dares are quick, visible on screen and don’t need anything you wouldn’t have at home. Nobody should have to go outside, call someone or post anything publicly.

Silly dares

• Talk in a different accent for the next three rounds.
• Do your best impression of a famous person until the other guesses who it is.
• Put on the strangest hat or headwear you can find in two minutes.
• Show the most random object within arm’s reach and invent a story about it.
• Try to lick your elbow on camera.
• Do ten star jumps without leaving the frame.
• Make a funny face and hold it for thirty seconds.
• Speak only in questions until your next turn.
• Eat a spoonful of something from your kitchen chosen by the other person.
• Narrate what you’re doing like a nature documentary for one minute.
• Balance a book on your head for the rest of the round.
• Draw a portrait of the other person in thirty seconds and show it.

Show-off dares

• Sing the chorus of the last song you listened to.
• Dance to a song the other person picks, for at least twenty seconds.
• Tell your best joke — if the other person doesn’t laugh, tell another.
• Do a dramatic reading of the last message you received (hide names).
• Show your best magic trick, even if it’s terrible.
• Rap a verse about the person you’re talking to.
• Do a runway walk across your room.
• Recreate a famous film scene with whatever is nearby.
• Give a thirty-second motivational speech about socks.
• Do your best evil villain laugh.

Flirty dares

• Give the other person your best compliment while looking straight at the camera.
• Try your smoothest pick-up line, then your worst one.
• Wink at the camera like you’re in a perfume advert.
• Describe your ideal date in three words.
• Blow a kiss to the camera.
• Show your best “come here” look.
• Rate the other person’s smile out of ten and explain why.
• Serenade the other person with one line of a love song.

Keep the game fun and respectful

Truth or dare works because everyone feels safe enough to play along. A few simple rules keep it that way:

• “Pass” ends the question. Don’t ask why, don’t insist, don’t repeat the question later.
• No dares that involve undressing or anything sexual. That isn’t the game, and on many sites it breaks the rules.
• No dares that reveal personal details, like showing your ID, your street, your workplace or your social media. Our privacy guide explains why.
• Nothing dangerous. No fire, no heights, no eating anything unsafe.
• Read the room. If the other person goes quiet or starts passing a lot, switch back to funny questions or another game.

If someone pushes you to do something you don’t want to, end the call. It’s a game, and you never owe anyone a dare. Our safety tips cover what to do if a chat turns uncomfortable.
