Combine ice-breaking revelations, sidesplitting laughter, and the occasional tipple, and you get the uproariously entertaining game known as ‘Never Have I Ever’. As much a voyage of self-discovery as it is a riotous pathway to mirth, this game promises to transform your social gatherings from pleasant to unforgettably exuberant. So, grab your drinks, sit with friends, and get ready to reveal (and revel) with this guide to navigating ‘Never Have I Ever’!
The Set-Up
The beauty of ‘Never Have I Ever’ lies in its simplicity. You need just a few things:
- A group of friends keen to have some fun and share some laughs.
- Your favorite drinks β this could be anything from beer to wine or cocktails.
- A comfortable lounge or space to sit in a circle.
Ensure everyone has a convenient reach to their drink of choice, conformably seated, and you’re all set for a jolly good time!
The Rules
‘Never Have I Ever’ can be played in two ways: ‘Ten Fingers’ or ‘Classic’. Both methods share the same rule: If a player has done what someone else has not, they must take a sip of their drink. Here’s how the two versions differ:
- ‘Ten Fingers’ Method: Each player holds up ten fingers. As people take turns sharing something they’ve never done before by stating, “Never have I ever…”, anyone in the circle who has done the action in question must put one finger down and take a drink. The game goes on until someone has no fingers up, making them the “loser” who’s revealed the most about themselves!
- Classic Method: In this version, things are even simpler. Players take turns saying, “Never have I ever…” followed by a statement about something they’ve never done. Anyone who has done that action must take a sip of their drink. The game continues until everyone’s sufficiently dizzy with giggles (or beverages).
Suggested Never Have I Ever… Questions
The soul of ‘Never Have I Ever’ resides in the creativity and daring of your declarations. Here are some to get you started:
