This game is a great way to pass the time, will help you break the ice, and will encourage conversation. What’s so convenient is that you can play it anytime, anywhere!

Never Have I Ever is a classic party game perfect for breaking the ice and getting to know your friends better.

What is Never Have I Ever?

Never have I Ever is a getting-to-know-you game that centers around the players’ experiences in their lives. It’s a classic game that has been popular with kids and teens ever since we could all remember. This game helps build friendships and creates lasting memories for the players.

How To Play Never Have I Ever

The game starts with someone saying, “Never have I ever…” followed by something you have never done before. The other players will then tell if they have done it or not.

For example: Never have I ever ruined someone else’s vacation.

There are two ways to play “Never have I ever”. Depending on your age and what you are comfortable with, you can select the game that works for you and your friends:

1. The (non-drinking) points game

The original way to play “Never have I ever…” is to gather in a circle. Then somebody says something that they haven’t done. If you have not done it, you earn a point, and if you have, you don’t. Then the next person says something they haven’t done “Never have I ever…” and so on. You can keep a record of your points on your fingers or draw circles and cross them out on a piece of paper.

The game goes on until you want it to stop. Then you can then count your scores, and whoever has the most wins. If only one person has done the thing from the question, they are usually asked to tell the story of how it occurred.

The drinking game

Another way of playing is with sips of a drink rather than points. The game starts with one person saying, “Never have I ever…”, followed by something you’ve never done before. If other players have done it, they take a drink. Then it goes to the next person. And they say, “Never have I ever…” and round and round it goes.

There isn’t really a winner, but there are unquestionably people who end up drinking a lot more than others. Usually, the game stops when people get too drunk, or the questions get too uncomfortable.

If only one or two people take a drink, usually the group will ask for details or a story. But if no one drinks, the person who said “Never have I ever…” drinks.

No matter which version you choose, keep things relatively light and fun. No one has fun when the questions get too awkward, harsh, or embarrassing.

Best Never Have I Ever Questions

The point of the game is to get to know the people around you a little bit better and learn some unusual things about them. So have fun with it and don’t get too serious or make the questions too uncomfortable to answer. Here is a list of questions you can use as idea starters for your own questions:

1. Never have I ever gone bungee-jumping.

Now you can find out which of your friends are adrenaline addicts and if it lived up to the hype.

2. Never have I ever ridden on an animal.

Extra fun to hear about if it’s a weird random animal that we don’t usually think about riding, like a pig?

3. Never have I ever hitchhiked in my life.

You can definitely meet some interesting people while hitchhiking. Not many people will pick up a stranger off the street.

4. Never have I ever been arrested.

If you are playing with more than five people, chances are at least one of those people has been arrested. Think about the story behind it!

5. Never have I ever gone surfing.

This one will definitely get some different responses depending on how close or far away from the sea you are.

6. Never have I ever been electrocuted.

Yes, probably someone has been electrocuted. And yes, it was probably because they were doing something dumb.

7. Never have I ever gotten stitches.

Who doesn’t like an excellent gory injury story?

8. Never have I ever gone hunting.

Again, it probably varies depending on your geography and whether you are citified or countrified.

9. Never have I ever gone vegan.

Just don’t make fun of them.

10. Never have I ever shoplifted.

What will it be? Something from the town gas station or corner store? Or perhaps something big or expensive? At least one person around the table has shoplifted at some point.

11. Never have I ever fainted.

You’d be surprised how common fainting is; if it happened at an inconvenient time, it could be a great story.

12. Never have I ever broken a bone.

If they’ve broken a bone, they probably will want to tell you about it. And they’ve probably told that story a hundred times already.

13. Never have I ever shot a gun.

If you live in the countryside in the US, you probably did.

14. Never have I ever dined and dashed.

Be careful if you have former or current waiters/waitresses at the party. They are liable to chew out the people who said they did this.

15. Never have I ever cracked a tooth.

I wonder why humans get so much joy from listening to stories about other people’s injuries. Maybe it’s like a survival mechanism. You get to learn not to do the thing they did without having to go through the pain.

16. Never have I ever danced in an elevator.

Elevator dance parties!

17. Never have I ever ruined someone else’s vacation.

Whether on purpose or as an accident, whether when you were a child or when you grew up - Believe me, the group wants to hear everything!

Many people cheat on tests, but it’s always more satisfying when they get caught.

20. Never have I ever had a paranormal experience.

Who doesn’t love a good ghost story? This one is great for getting some creepy stories.

21. Never have I ever been caught sneaking into a movie.

Try as they might. It’s hard for movie theaters to keep people from sneaking from movie to movie. I’m sure a few of your group have snuck into a movie, but how many have been caught?

22. Never have I ever gone scuba diving.

Probably the 3rd most fun thing you can do underwater.

Glasses. Fashion for your face! While it used to be a social stigma to wearing glasses, now it’s stylish.

This is a common occurrence in many people, where your brain is awake, but your body isn’t. Even if you haven’t had it happen to you, it’s probably happened to someone in the group.
