Ground rules for dares
- If anyone says no, drop it. It's supposed to be fun.
- Nothing that can hurt anyone: no heights, nothing hot, no hard hitting.
- Keep costs low, think one drink at most.
- Ask before taking photos or videos, and get consent before posting anything.
- Never make drinking or risky challenges a dare.
How dares work on with friends

- 2When the game ends, the loser presses Draw a dare and one is picked with a drumroll.
