There are not many better ways to have fun with your friends than to play the Never Have I Ever questions game – one that allows you to get to know things you otherwise would have never known about people around you. It does not matter if these people are close friends or strangers as this game will surely bring all those involved closer to each other, allowing everyone to share both embarrassing and interesting things about themselves.
How To Play The Never Have I Ever Game
To play the Never Have I Ever game, everyone would be required to sit around a table or at least in a circle. Then one after the other, each person would get to ask questions that begin with the “Never Have I Ever” phrase. It is imperative that you pick your questions wisely, and not fixate yourself on asking intensely personal questions that would take people back into their shells. Also, depending on what everyone involved decides, you can choose to play the game as either a drinking game or a points game.
As a drinking game, when someone asks a Never Have I Ever question, those who have done so are required to take a drink. The person who takes the drink can then go ahead to provide background details of how it all happened. But if nobody has done the said thing, the person who asked the question is required to take a drink. The game continues until people get too drunk and are unable to continue. There is also no winner here unlike you would have if it is played as a points game.
For the points game, the sitting arrangement remains the same and everyone begins with the same number of points. When one person asks a question and someone or different people in the circle have done the said thing, a point is deducted from their total. These people are also required to share the circumstances around what happened. But if nobody has done what was asked, then the person who asked the question gets a point deducted from their own total. This goes on and on until someone wins the game.
