Truth or Dare Over Text: Dirty Edition

Can’t decide between truth or dare? Here’s a hybrid round that works great for groups or for two people who want to mix revelation with action.

The rules: Text “T” for truth or “D” for dare. The other person picks from the appropriate list. You can’t back out — that’s the point.

Dirty Truths (for when they pick T)

  1. What’s the most explicit text you’ve ever sent — and who received it?
  2. What’s something you’ve faked interest in just to spend more time with someone?
  3. What’s the boldest thing you’ve done to get someone’s attention?
  4. Have you ever sent a risky photo? Where is it now?
  5. What’s your most embarrassing attraction to someone unexpected?
  6. What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to do but still haven’t done?
  7. What’s the wildest place you’ve thought about being with someone?
  8. Describe your ideal physical type in embarrassing detail.
  9. What’s the most impulsive thing you’ve done because you were attracted to someone?
  10. What’s a fantasy you’d be embarrassed to admit in person?

See our full list of adult truth or dare questions and dirty truth or dare questions for hundreds more.

Dirty Dares (for when they pick D)

  1. Send me a photo in whatever you’re wearing right now — no angles, no filters.
  2. Text me one sentence that would get you in trouble if the wrong person saw it.
  3. Send a voice note saying exactly what you’re thinking, unfiltered, for 20 seconds.
  4. Describe a scene involving us in two sentences. Make it count.
  5. Change your contact name for me to something embarrassing for the next 24 hours.
  6. Send a photo that’s more revealing than you’re comfortable with but still safe.
  7. Text me the thing you’d do if no one was watching and we were in the same room.

Drinking Game Version: Dirty Dares Over Text

Add drinks to the mix for a night that starts with your phone and ends with a good story. Works great for long distance couples on video call or groups in a chat.

  3. Send a voice note saying something bold — drink if you mumble.
  4. Text your honest rating of everyone in the chat. Drink if you skip anyone.
  5. Send your most recent selfie without any edits — drink if you crop it.

How to Run a Dirty Dare Game Over Text

The Basic Setup

  1. Agree on the level — flirty, medium, or spicy. Don’t surprise someone with a level they didn’t sign up for.
  2. Set a time limit — 5 minutes to complete each dare, or it counts as a forfeit.
  3. Establish a safe word — one word to skip a dare with no questions asked. Keeps it fun and pressure-free.
  4. Screenshots count as proof — for photo dares, a screenshot of the completed action is the receipt.

Make It Even More Fun

  • Use Xdares to put real stakes on the game — create a dare with escrow so the consequences actually happen.
  • Add a penalty for skips — loser buys dinner, makes a voice note apology, or sends a gift card.
  • Play in rounds — one dare each, back and forth, escalating each round.

Tips for Long-Distance Couples

  • Video call + dare list = maximum impact. You get to see the reaction.
  • Use a shared Google Doc to keep score across multiple sessions.
  • Let the dare expire — if it’s not completed in 24 hours, the darer picks the penalty.
