When it comes to games - whether drinking games or organised fun - Never Have I Ever is up there as one of our all-time favourites. Yes, it might have been a high school or university classic, but that's not to say it can't be enjoyed post-education too, and is perfect for whipping out when you feel like digging deep into some secrets.
Whether you’re hosting pre-drinks and want to get the conversation flowing, or you’re at an afters and everyone is tipsy enough to get extra honest (remember, that wine can be like truth serum), there’s never a dull minute with this game.
So, with a raucous Thursday night in mind, here's our ultimate list of the best Never Have I Ever questions (including the juicy ones, but also some easy ones too), to see you through your next evening of fun.
Then, when you’re done never-have-i-ever-ing, why not get your teeth stuck into some other house party classics, like Ring of Fire, Would You Rather, or Truth or Dare?
How to play Never Have I Ever
This one's fairly self-explanatory, but we'll take you through it anyway. Everyone sits around in a circle, taking it in turns to say "Never have I ever..." (usually something they haven't done). If you've done the thing, you drink - and prepare for an onslaught of questions from your mates.
While it's traditionally played with alcohol, that doesn't have to be the case - you can just use the questions as a way to dig deep with each other, and reveal you've done or not done the thing to each other in a different way.
Simple!

Or, how about using it as a way to get to know your mates a little bit better? The true reason for playing Never Have I Ever is often digging deep into your friends' secrets and personal lives, and we're always in the market for a little bit of gossip. So without further ado...
