The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

At slumber parties we used to play a game called
Truth or Dare (Formally: Truth, Dare, Double Dare
Promise or Repeat). This game is best when played by
many people. Any person begins by saying a person's
name, then, "Truth, dare, double dare, promise or
repeat?" If the person picks truth, they have to
tell the truth about whatever the asker asks. If
the person does not want to answer, they have to do
a dare. If they pick dare, they have to do the dare
the asker tells them. If they pick promise they have to
promise to do whatever they are told. If they pick
repeat they have to repeat whatever they are told.
If the category double dare is chosen, then the
person picked has to do the designated dare with
another person in the group. Now, usually, the two
categories of truth and dare are used. Then if the
person does not want to answer the question they have
to take the dare.
