Never Have I Ever Drinking Game: Rules and 80 Questions

How to play the Never Have I Ever drinking game, with 80 questions sorted from clean and funny to flirty, plus rule variations.

Never Have I Ever is the game that turns “we barely know each other” into “I cannot believe you did that” in about ten minutes. Here are the rules, a few variations and 80 questions to get through the night.

How to play

  1. Sit in a circle with a drink each. Any drink works.
  2. One player says “Never have I ever” followed by something they have not done.
  3. Everyone who has done it takes a sip.
  4. The next player goes. Stories are optional but encouraged.

House rule worth having: if nobody sips, the person who asked takes one. It stops people from playing it safe.
