truth or dare

Confession or task

Truth or dare is a party game, typically played by teenagers and young adults, where players must choose between answering a personal question honestly or performing a challenge.

The game often escalates toward embarrassing revelations or risky stunts: We played truth or dare at the sleepover and things got weird fast.

The phrase sometimes appears as shorthand for forced choice between uncomfortable options.
