Russian roulette dares

Russian roulette dares turn a bang into a forfeit. The player who gets the bang does one dare, then the round continues or starts fresh. You play on one phone. There is no real gun.

How to use the list

Agree the list before the first pull. A click is not a dare. Only a bang is.

The player who got the bang picks the category, or the group picks it at the start and sticks to it. They do one dare. Then they are out, or you start a new game with the same names if you want more turns.

Skip any dare that does not fit the room. Swap it for an easy one. Nobody owes a dare that hurts, and nobody owes a dare they do not want to do. A pass is allowed. The pass is the forfeit.

These are not drinking prompts. If the group wants a drink on a bang, use the drink rule and keep it to one. Do not mix a dare with an extra drink.

Truth or dare fits the same bang. One truth or one dare, chosen by the player who lost the chamber. Keep the truth kind. A mean question is not on this list, and you should not invent one to fill the gap.
