There’s something endlessly fun—and juicy—about telling our deepest, darkest secrets. Whether it’s played with casual friends or our closest confidantes, there’s a reason “never have I ever” questions still intrigue us years after our first game. (Mine was middle school. Yours?) We feel giddy sharing something no one knows about us—surprising them and changing their perspective. And we feel seen when others can relate, knowing we’re not alone in the silly, beautiful goofiness of life. Sure, “Never Have I Ever” may just be a game-night favorite, but it’s also a way we grow closer to those around us.

And if you haven’t realized it yet, the game doesn’t have to be left in the past. “Never Have I Ever” never, ever gets old. In fact, it’s often how friends and I wrap up the evening, sitting around the fire or cozying up on the couch to bear our souls. (Yes, it can get intense.) I can guarantee, no matter how well you know each other at the beginning, the “never have I ever” questions ahead guarantee you’ll be fast friends by the end of the night.
