Never Have I Ever: 25 Great Questions and How to Play

A sentence starting with "Never have I ever…" is read out; everyone who HAS done it must own up. The rule is that simple — the fallout can keep a table laughing for hours.

Rules: classic and lives mode

In the classic version everyone holds up five fingers and folds one for every guilty statement; the first to run out is crowned the table's biggest sinner. The Kafedeyim version has two modes:

• Lives mode: everyone starts with 5 lives; a "did it" costs one. Run out and you're eliminated — last player standing wins.
• 10 rounds: a fixed set of statements; fewest confessions wins, i.e. the most innocent person at the table.

Answers are given secretly and revealed simultaneously — no copying your neighbour.

Warm-up statements

1. Never have I ever searched for my phone while holding it.
2. Never have I ever said "getting up in 5 minutes" and slept another hour.
3. Never have I ever binged a whole series in one night.
4. Never have I ever texted the wrong person.
5. Never have I ever sung song lyrics wrong for years.

Turning up the heat

6. Never have I ever secretly checked an ex on social media.
7. Never have I ever said "on my way" while still at home.
8. Never have I ever re-gifted a present.
9. Never have I ever nodded along to a topic I knew nothing about.
10. Never have I ever told a hairdresser "it looks great" while hating it.

Confession league

11. Never have I ever sent a message to the wrong group chat.
12. Never have I ever posed in the mirror alone in an elevator.
