How it works

These crazy never have I ever questions are statements about rare things that really happen: a close call, a wrong turn, a moment on live TV, a goat on the picnic table. Crazy means surprising, and every card is clean.

Read the full guide

A round with ten fingers

Everyone holds up ten fingers, or five for a short game. Read the card aloud; anyone it has happened to puts one finger down and tells the story. Easy cards, such as Never have I ever danced in a downpour on purpose, find somebody in most rooms.

Pick a set by the kind of story

Before the first card, press Topic. Close calls and Wrong place, wrong time are near misses and mix-ups. Brushes with fame and Animal encounters bring the long stories. Hard cards, such as Never have I ever had a fish jump into my boat on its own, may leave every finger up.

  • A card that drops one finger is the best kind: give that player the floor before the next card.

Questions and answers

What are some crazy never have I ever questions?

Never have I ever ended up on live TV by accident. Never have I ever been stuck in an elevator. Never have I ever seen a tossed coin land on its edge and stay there. The whole deck is listed under the cards.

Are these crazy questions clean?

Yes. Each card names something surprising that happened to a person or that they did on a whim. None is about drinking, dating, bodies or money, and none is against the law.

What happens when nobody puts a finger down?

By one optional house rule, the reader then puts one down. With this deck it happens most on Hard cards, which name things a whole room may never have had happen.

Can I print the cards?

Yes. A round ends after 12 cards, and Print these then gives the deck as slips to cut apart. Pick one set under Topic first to print only that set.
