Make the phone disappear into the game

Dirty Truth is designed for exactly this kind of group: choose a mode, let the app decide who answers, and keep the attention on reactions instead of scrolling through a webpage. It works best when the phone is the referee, not the centre of the room.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good truth question for friends?

It should invite a story or opinion without targeting a person’s private life in a way that feels unsafe or humiliating.

How do you avoid awkwardness?

Agree on a skip rule before the first question and keep the tone of follow-up questions respectful.

Can this work with a large group?

Yes, but keep answers short or split into smaller circles so everyone gets a turn.
