How to play (no drinks required)

Everyone holds up ten fingers. One person reads a question, and anyone who HAS done the thing puts a finger down, ideally with the story. First person to lose all ten fingers wins, or loses, depending on how your group sees it. For a points version, start everyone at zero and give a point per confession; highest score after five rounds is crowned most interesting person in the room. The real game is the stories, so make a house rule that any finger down can be challenged with "explain." In the wholesome flex round, flip it: fingers down are badges, and the most badges wins outright.

If your group burns through all 50, opnrs has 10,000+ questions across 65 topics in 11 languages, works fully offline, and requires no signup, so the game keeps going at the campsite, on the bus, or anywhere the wifi is not invited.

Keeping it fun for everyone

The game stays good as long as nobody dreads their turn. Keep questions in bounds for the room you are in, let anyone pass without explaining, and read the next question quickly so a pass never becomes a moment. If the group skews younger, lean on food crimes and the wholesome flex round. If it is coworkers, school and work fails is the goldmine. The goal is laughter and stories, never squirming.
