100 Best Never Have I Ever Questions — Funny, Dirty & Shocking

Never Have I Ever is the ultimate "getting to know you" game — except it reveals things about people that they'd never volunteer in normal conversation. The game is deceptively simple: someone reads a statement starting with "Never have I ever..." and everyone who HAS done that thing takes a drink (or loses a point, or does a forfeit).

The magic is in the reactions. Every time someone drinks when you thought they wouldn't, a new conversation starts. "Wait — you've ACTUALLY done that?" These moments of surprise are what make the game legendary. Here are 100 of the best Never Have I Ever questions, organized by category.
