🙌 Never Have I Ever — Online Game

🕹️ How to play

1. A statement is already on screen: The page opens on a card — no category picker, no sign-up. Tap "Next one" for another; nothing repeats inside a session, and the counter at the top shows how much of the level you have used.
2. Pick the level for the room: Three chips at the top switch any time. Use anyone-can-play with new faces, colleagues or family; close friends for a night in; late night stays locked until everyone at the table ticks the box.
3. Switch to ten fingers for a winner: Tap "Play ten fingers", choose 2–12 players and 10 fingers (standard) or 5 (short round). Names are optional. Everyone gets a ten-segment bar on screen.
4. Lock in each statement until one person is left: Whoever has done it taps their own tile, then somebody hits "Lock it in" and every marked player loses a finger. Use "Nobody has" or "Skip this one" as needed. Hit zero and you are out; the last player holding a finger wins.

📖 Rules & variants

Core rules: one statement, everyone reacts at once. Anyone who has done it owns up — hands up by default, or a finger down or a sip if the group prefers — and puts one finger down. Fingers are the only score. Ten down and you are out; the last person still holding a finger wins, which simply means they have done the fewest things on the list. The result screen says out loud that this is a joke, not a verdict.

Players and length: 2–12 people around one phone, passed around or left on the table. Five fingers runs about 8–15 statements, ten fingers about 20–35. Quick play has no ending at all — stop whenever the conversation moves on. Nothing is timed and nobody buzzes in, so slower players never get rushed.

The three levels stack rather than replace each other: close friends means all 100 anyone-can-play statements plus the 80 closer ones in one pool, and late night puts all 220 in play. A night made only of personal questions gets exhausting — the light ones in between are the real rhythm. Late night ships locked, needs everyone's agreement, and can be locked again from settings at any point.

House rules, all as on-screen switches rather than things to agree out loud: "nobody? everybody drops one" is off by default and makes an empty statement cost every survivor a finger — keep it off for work socials. "Take turns reading" is on by default, decides only who reads the card out, skips eliminated players and never touches the score. The three ways of owning up (hands up, finger down, sip) change only the wording. "Skip this one" sits at the same size as "Lock it in": it costs nobody a finger, does not count as a played statement and asks no questions.

This game runs on the honour system: the site draws statements and keeps the tally, and does not pretend it can detect who is lying. Agree up front that anyone may skip without explaining. Sipping mode needs an age confirmation before it turns on, is not for anyone under legal drinking age and asks you to drink responsibly — hands up is the default and skips alcohol entirely. Every statement is original and steers clear of illegal or dangerous acts, explicit content, personal attacks and anything likely to hit a nerve.
