We asked people to share the wildest, funniest, or most shocking dares they’ve witnessed or experienced during a game of Truth or Dare.
The stories did not disappoint:
1. From Dorm Room Dare to Fine Dining
“We were hanging out at the dorms when we dared our friend, who had just been accepted to culinary school (he hadn’t even taken a single class yet).
We challenged him to cook us a fancy dinner using only the dorm appliances, like a toaster oven, a George Foreman grill, and a hotplate.
At first, he just got up and left. We figured he was tired of us always teasing him about wanting to be the next Iron Chef, he was obsessed with that show.
But nope, he came back with groceries and whipped up a short rib dish that was so good, I still think about it to this day. And that was 22 years ago!” – Kevin Walker
2. A Dare That Cost Him Everything
“There was this kid I went to school with who got dared to drink a can of used oil during shop class. Nobody thought he’d actually do it.
Well, he did, and ended up hospitalized.
On top of that, he got kicked out of the tech school at the end of junior year.
Since he didn’t complete all three years of his program, he had to make up every single credit his senior year that he would’ve otherwise been excused from.
To his credit, he still managed to graduate on time.” – Ryan Miller
3. A Drunken Prank Gone Too Far
“In college, we were playing drunk Truth or Dare Jenga, and a girl pulled a piece that dared her to prank call her parents.
It was around 3 a.m., and she called them, only saying, ‘Peace in the Middle East,’ over and over until they finally hung up.
The next day, her parents showed up at the dorms to take her home. They thought she was either on drugs or having a mental breakdown.
Coming from a small town and a super religious family, ‘I was drunk, and it was funny’ didn’t go over well with them.” – Ashley Cooper
4. A Dare That Backfired
“In 6th grade, my girlfriend dared me to kiss her best friend.
I went for it, thinking it was just a dare. Turns out, it was a test, and I failed.”
– Tyler Grant\
5. The Stuntman Who Wasn’t
“When I was 17 and in high school, my friend (let’s call him Rick) was convinced he was destined to be a professional stuntman.
He claimed he knew the ‘proper technique’ to get hit by a car and ‘take zero damage.’
Since I had an old beater truck, he figured the risk to my vehicle was low.
Well, he ended up spraining his wrist and bruising his shoulder after I hit him in the school parking lot.
I still have the recording (and no, I’m never sharing it), but to this day, I don’t understand how he didn’t break his neck, thank God he didn’t.
Two years later, he asked me to try again.
That time, he completely shattered my windshield.” – Jake Parker
6. A Dare That Stunk (Literally)
“She was dared to jump an electric fence and ride a cow. She managed to get over the fence but landed shin-deep in cow manure.
Her UGGs got so stuck in the mess that she never even made it to the cow.
Honestly, that cow poop probably saved her life.” – Megan Harper
7. The Chicken Heist Gone Wrong
“During a game of Truth or Dare at a house party, someone dared this girl to steal something random from one of the neighbors.
Instead of grabbing something normal, like a garden gnome, she sneaks into their yard and comes back… with a live chicken.
At first, everyone was dying laughing, until the chicken freaked out.
It started flapping all over the living room, knocking over a table full of snacks and drinks. Absolute chaos.
The funniest part? The next day, the neighbor showed up looking for their chicken, and the host had to pretend it just wandered into the house on its own.” – Katie Wilson
8. The Milk-Eye Dare That Went Too Far
“This wasn’t during a game of Truth or Dare, but back in high school, I told a friend I could squirt milk (or any liquid, really) out of my eyes.
He thought it was hilarious and smuggled his milk into biology class a few days later, daring me to prove it before the teacher showed up.
To pull this off, you have to breathe the milk into your nose until you feel it at the back of your throat.
It’s a slow process because you’re basically fighting your brain’s instinctive panic about drowning.
Out of a school milk bottle, I had to fill each nostril one at a time, which made it obvious what I was doing.
The bell rang, and the teacher walked in while I was still on nostril one. He just stood there, waiting to see what was happening.
So I finished, plugged my nose, and squirted all the milk out of my eyes like I was crying dairy tears.
And yeah, I got in trouble.” – Jason Wild
9. Drunken Text Roulette
“Back in college, my wife and I were subletting a place for summer break and played Truth or Dare with our temporary roommate and her boyfriend.
We were all completely smashed. I got dared to let the roommate’s boyfriend text whatever he wanted to someone in my contacts.
For some reason, I actually said yes.
He sent the text, then deleted it, so I had no idea what he wrote or who he sent it to.
The next morning, I woke up hungover and saw a text from my ex-girlfriend that just said, ‘What?!’
At first, I didn’t even remember the dare, my memory of the night before was a blur.
Turns out, he found the first female name in my contacts and sent her ‘I love you.'”
– Matt Reynolds
10. The Bus Pee Dare Disaster
“Sophomore year of high school, I got dared to pee on the bus. I didn’t even have to go at the time, so I told them I’d do it tomorrow.
I had an entire day to come up with an excuse or just say no, but instead, I drank a ton of water beforehand and made sure we sat in the last seats on the bus.
When the moment came, I whipped it out and peed on the floor. For about 10 seconds, it was absolutely hilarious.
Then the bus driver hit the brakes, and we realized the puddle was moving with the bus.
It soaked into backpacks on the floor and ruined people’s stuff. I was horrified.
Of course, everyone on the bus knew it was me. They all tattled—rightfully so—and it got me in major trouble.
I ended up with a week of in-school suspension and had to clean buses at the depot after school.” – Sean Miller
11. The Dare That Turned Tragic
“At 19, Australian football player Sam Ballard ate a slug at a party on a dare and contracted Rat Lungworm disease.
He fell into a coma for 420 days, and when he woke up, he was fully paralyzed and had to be fed through a tube.
Eight years later, he passed away.” – Daniel Hayes
Here is an article about this story.
12. The Gravel Snorting Dare
“Not super crazy at the time, but I knew a kid who once snorted a line of crushed-up gravel, which was mostly quartz.
It didn’t seem like a big deal back then, but years later, I learned about silicosis and immediately flashed back to him directly inhaling bits of silica.
Every now and then, I wonder how he’s doing.” – Chris Taylor
13. The Sewage Dive Bet
“This wasn’t exactly Truth or Dare, but back when I worked in commercial diving, we had a job at a sewage treatment plant—yep, diving in literal sewage.
It was me (a civilian), my buddy (a Marine), and our coworker (a former Navy guy who was BUD/S-trained but medically discharged after an injury).
None of us wanted to dive in the poo, so we were figuring out who’d dive and who’d tend.
My Marine buddy and I definitely didn’t want to do it, and the Navy guy still had that headstrong, macho attitude.
So we went up to him and said, ‘Hey, bet you’re too much of a b*tch to dive in that sh(t.’
Without missing a beat, he shot back, ‘F you guys, I’ll dive in that sh(t.’
And he did. Guess he showed us, lol.” – Brian Walker
14. The Kiss That Changed Everything
“It wasn’t crazy on its own, but the context made it wild.
My two-faced ‘friend,’ who also liked the guy I was into, dared him to kiss the prettiest girl at the party.She got the idea from watching The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Her logic was probably that he wouldn’t pick me because we were super close friends, and it’d be awkward.
What she didn’t know was that he and I had just started dating, we just hadn’t told anyone yet.
So, when he looked at me, smiled mischievously, and went in for a full kiss with tongue, it completely shocked everyone.” – Jenna Price
15. The Blood Draw Dare Gone Wrong
“Back in high school, a friend of mine was in a medic volunteering program and had just learned how to take blood.
He’d walk around school with his equipment, asking if anyone would let him practice, but, of course, everyone said no.
One day during a game of Truth or Dare, someone dared me to let him take my blood. I agreed.
He connected the little tube thing, and as the blood started flowing, he completely freaked out because he couldn’t close some cap he needed.
I panicked, too, and ended up running around the school with blood coming out of my arm. Eventually, I just yanked the tube out myself.
Teenagers really have no sense of logic.” – Mark Henderson
16. The Sheep Poop Dare That Wasn’t
“A guy once licked old, dried sheep poop off the back seat of a bus for a fiver. Except… he didn’t even get the fiver.
The guy giving the dare didn’t even finish explaining it before he just went for it. We all just sat there, completely shell-shocked.
I still feel bad for that guy.” – Eric Palmer
From hilarious mishaps to life-changing moments, these unforgettable dares will have you laughing, cringing, and shaking your head all at once.
