HistoryEdit
The game has existed for hundreds of years, with at least one variant, "questions and commands", being attested as early as 1712:
Truth or dare may ultimately derive from command games such as the ancient Greek basilinda (in Greek: βασιλίνδα). This game is described by Julius Pollux: "in which we are told a king, elected by lot, commanded his comrades what they should perform".<ref name=strutt>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
